6 August

Huge week for the LNP. I don't think it's noticed much that the Libs and Nats have almost nothing in common. One is a party of the city, the other the bush. One believes in free markets and free trade, the other loves protectionism. What unites them is hatred of socialists. And, and this is why this week should be interesting, conservative moral values, at least in recent times (in the past Liberals were much more small-l liberal about that sort of thing). So one of the only things holding the current coalition together is that moral conservatism, which same-sex marriage could make explode.
