Australia’s Attorney General—all ideology, little competence:

Posted on January 21, 2013 by KG

And lord knows, her depth is shallow enough, so her being out of it is no surprise.
‘LEGAL experts have questioned whether Labor’s draft anti-discrimination laws are constitutional, arguing the expansion of federal powers is a step too far into community life that will ensnare students, parents, employees and even sports spectators.
As the Senate inquiry into the bill prepares to hold its first hearings this week, constitutional law professors Nicholas Aroney of the University of Queensland and Patrick Parkinson of the University of Sydney say it could also fall foul of our international obligations and may lead to successful court challenges.
…..”The exposure draft is a very radical and controversial expansion of the scope of commonwealth law, which in some respects may well exceed the commonwealth’s constitutional powers,” they say….’

    The commie bitch is up to her fat arse in the AWU scandal just as much as Gillard is, KG. Both union hacks. Both commie lesbians. Both of the same odious ilk.

    And both soon-to-be unemployed.

    “And both soon-to-be unemployed.”
    You have more confidence in the Australian voter than I have, Gantt. In the end, blind apathy, stupidity, ideology and welfare may just get these bastards over the line.
    It happened in America and it could easily happen here. The one big difference though is that our opposition is led by a genuine conservative…..

    Tim Blair nails Roxon’s anti-free speech idiocy:
    ‘..The key to allowable free expression in Australia seems to be expressing yourself with so much force that you vault beyond legislative constraints and into some kind of legal free-for-all zone. Armed with milk crates, machetes or malicious media releases, you’ll be relatively safe.
    Just don’t call someone a poof at the footy.’
