A nobody who thinks she is somebody.

Obviously someone who the OP follows

Mia Freedman is the "mommy blogger" Gillard had to the lodge and the only person she met whilst "meeting the people" of western sydney when she did the "Rooty Hill Sleepover" what a joke Gillard was and we are reminded of that every time she peeps over the pamparts to put her foot in her mouth.

Cleo huh??  I wonder if she knows Sharri Markson? now the media editor  for the Australian

I'm appalled that she has the mind set to say this.  She said it so she thinks it, what a disgrace and a phony. Her social media and her blog site is inumdated with the people she insulted  and I don't blame them.

Surely we have moved on from this mind set, surely we can see our gay friends and relatives, our loved ones, as valuable members of our society the same all society and not to be compared to child rapists and peds.

its not like her to say something like that.

has she responded?  explained?

While speaking about the idea of a national paedophile register, the former magazine editor and commentator said she supported the idea, drawing a link between paedophilia and homosexuality.

“We accept that gay people can’t change who they love and they’re sexually attracted to”, she said on the live program, “so why do we think that people who are sexually attracted to children can be rehabilitated?

“Name and shame them. I want to know where they are.”

Seriously??? that is not drawing a link between the 2.

I am not sure where the objectors learned English and comprehension but to me that clearly draws the analogy that  if someone is gay, they can't change.

If a pedophile is attracted to children, they can't change either....................... we know that to be true.

I don't want anyone to know where they are, I want everyone to be aware that ANYBODY might be a danger to their children and act accordingly.

"'We accept that gay people can't change who they love and who they're sexually attracted to, so why do we think that people who are sexually attracted to children can be rehabilitated?" she said. "

A badly worded analogy.
