they came out with some islamophobic crap a few months ago (it's one thing for a secular party to say that islam shouldn't get any special privileges in society, any more than catholics or protestants or buddhists or any other religion, but it's quite another for them to be coming out with the same all muslims are terrorists burka-banning bullshit that the racists do).
I became aware of them after an ex-Friend on Facebook (who continually posts anti-burka stuff and claims that Australia has Sharia law enforced by the government) supported them. I think it was pointing out that my attention was drawn to the Secular Party by a bigot that got me banned from their page and my comments deleted. They also want to repeal section 18C of the racial discrimination act on the basis of "free speech" but are apparently fine with the current libel laws. They deleted my Facebook comment about the Libel laws being more of a free speech issue than 18C.
now it's this current idiocy equating identity politics with "political correctness gone mad".
just another loon party, and not even well-meaning loons. and a waste of a good party name.
Adding a Facebook comment about this would be a good idea. Also make screen caps in case they delete them. When the Secular Party talk about free speech they mean free speech for white men. When they talk about discussion of contentious ideas they mean ideas that affect minority groups, ideas that disagree with them will be deleted. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
