Funny how more 'senior' members of the libs were bad mouthing climate change protesters yet when 'people' protest about drag queens telling kids stories it is,a different story (oh sorry, of course,they were not really Young Libs at all)  

If 'drag queens' reading stories are not kid friendly then what the heck is breathing the smoke filled air? kiddie health care?

Bleeding joke

I wonder if those same outraged protesters have ever taken their children to a pantomime. Or been to one themselves, since they were Young Libs. Perhaps they've forgotten the pantomime 'dame' and the principl 'boy'.

i guess free tickets to a dame edna show wouldnt interest them

might be interesting to ask these experts in what is ok for kids to experience

would meeting people with say downs syndrome be ok?

or maybe autistic people?

or amputees or blind people?

or any of the many many things that make us 'different' from each other.

just how many of these very vocal protestors are actually 'normal'?

what is normal? can they give a detailed description?

really when you vote yourself the judge on whats ok and whats not the world you create becomes somewhere most of us wouldnt want to live.

None. They are idealogues and no idealogue is normal, regardless of their political leanings.

They must be pretty bad if the Queensland LNP disaffiliated them.

Why do kids need to be read to?

Don't we send them to school so they can learn to read?
