We all know the self-serving mantra of the ‘progressive’ left: love, inclusion, diversity.
Just so long as you agree fervently with everything they tell you to.
They’re like an old-school Maoist rally, where everyone is forced to shout the Party’s slogans as loudly as possible. Anyone who doesn’t show sufficient enthusiasm, or, heaven help them, disagrees, is immediately and brutally denounced.
A West Australian Liberal candidate who made controversial comments linking pedophilia to the LGBTQI+ community has secured a restraining order against a woman behind repeated alleged threats and harassment of him and his family.
Note how the mainstream media slant even the lede? “Comments linking pedophilia to the LGBTQI+ community”. What did he actually say? The MSM clearly want you to believe he said something along the lines of ‘all gays are paedophiles’. He didn’t.
“Inclusivity is not always good because what it does include is a group of people called minor-attracted persons.” Like it or not, he’s completely correct. The San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus states, “Last, there’s a plus sign at the end of the LGBTQIA+ acronym, meaning anyone who is not listed in the acronym but still identifies as part of the community.”
This is the same SFGMC which produced the controversial “We’re Coming for Your Kids” video, which included several convicted child sex offenders.
Another source also states that, the “+” “includes people who are non-binary, gender non-conforming, genderqueer and so much more” (emphasis added).
What’s the “so much more”? This is conveniently not specified.
Yet, from the very beginnings of the ‘Queer’ movement, paedophiles have been openly included. From NAMBLA and ‘Godfather of Queer Theory’ Michel Foucault, to Australian academic Gary Dowsett, the gay rights movement has always included a dark fringe at least sympathetic to, if not openly, paedophile.
More recently, that’s taken the form of the push to normalise so-called ‘MAPs’, or minor-attracted persons.
But, as Dr Thomas Brough can aver, no one is allowed to notice this. First, Brough was ordered to submit to re-education, oops, I mean, ‘ordered to take workplace training with the Australian Human Rights Commission’.
Thomas Brough, who is running for the seat of Albany in WA’s southwest, secured the court order on Monday after going to police with details of multiple instances of disturbing behaviour towards him by a fellow resident.
Dr Brough’s police statement details a series of incidents in which the woman entered the emergency department where he works and repeatedly hurled abuse at him. According to Dr Brough’s statement, the woman at one point allegedly said words to the effect of “I know where you live and I’m going to make sure you f..king die.” She also allegedly said, “you and your woman and kid out there, yeah I f..king know where you are”.
Brough statements include a psychiatrist’s opinion that the woman had described her intent to inflict physical violent, and that “the psychiatrist believed the threats were credible”.
In layman’s terms, she’s acting as crazy as a shithouse rat.
Last week, after visiting the Albany Court House to collect a violence restraining order application, Dr Brough was in his car preparing to leave when the woman parked her car across the front of his vehicle and blocked him in.
According to Dr Brough’s statement, she stepped out of her car while holding a large glass jar that he feared could be used as a weapon. A passer-by stepped between the pair and another man called the police.
The woman had also posted a photo of Dr Brough’s driveway on social media, in which she said “I’m ya neighbour ya sly dog see ya at Nanarup real soon for a nice neighbourly how ya ‘garn we’re both farmers after all”.
Dr Brough’s statement also detailed vandalism to his car – which is covered in political branding – that occurred around the time of their emergency room incidents. The woman posted photographs of the vandalism on her Facebook page, under the caption “For my Gays and They’s”.
The WA Labor government have their own explaining to do.
Liberal MP Rick Wilson, whose federal electorate of O’Connor includes Albany, said […] “And quite frankly the pile-on, which was led by Rebecca Stevens, the member for Albany, and jumped on by David Templeman, calling Tom Brough a dickhead and hoeing into him in the parliament, I don’t think it reflects well on them.
“People in senior roles need to take some responsibility for their words.”
WA Liberal leader Libby Mettam said Labor had used the cloak of parliamentary privilege to incite the harassment of Dr Brough.
“Political candidates of all stripes do an enormous service to our democracy when they choose to run for office, and they should be able to do that without needing a VRO,” she said.
“It is typical of Roger Cook’s WA that people are having their families threatened because they stand for election.”
What do Labor have to say in their defence? Doublespeak like this:
Mr Templeman said no one should be harassing or attacking anyone for their beliefs.
“Violence and threats against anyone are not acceptable and I urge everyone in the Albany community to treat each other with respect and tolerance,” he said.
“As I said at the time, libraries should be safe spaces for all people, no matter their age, gender, race, religion, disability, cultural identity, sexuality, language, educational attainment, socio-economic status, political allegiance or social viewpoint.”
Unless, of course, they disagree with you. Then you’ll set the crazies after them.
So ‘safe’ and ‘inclusive’.
