It’s time to vote YES, Aussie
Given the impending postal survey on gay marriage across the ditch, now’s probably a good time to revisit a speech by an obviously well-raised young man who shows that sexual orientation has nothing to do with your value as a person.

How about we worry about the REAL issue
Over the past week or so there has been a good bit of whinging over the planned name of a new organisation that aims to help vulnerable children in this country. The old Child Youth and Family is being shut down so it can be replaced with a new agency next year: the Ministry for
