WHY is everything nuclear so fucking good in the mind of John Howard?
I don’t know what the Prime Minister is thinking, but EVERYTHING is nuclear - whether its energy or family.
Headlining the news everywhere today, gay marriages and the nuclear energy debate. I copped it in the car on the way to work, and again on the way home.
He obviously did a lot of thinking on during his recent trip to America. What a coincidence that Mr Howard should consider vetoing the Australian Capital Territory’s civil union laws at the same time as his buddy Mr Bush is supporting plans to ensure gay marriage is regarded as unconstitutional in the US.
He wasn’t even home from the States when he first mooted a nuclear energy debate – totally derailing the last 30 years of progress and debate towards exploiting renewable energy sources.
The exciting thing is, I know what it’s all about. I know what the problem is.
The problem is, our ideological Prime Minister is confused. He fears the wrong kind of nuclear meltdown. He figures homosexual unions will destroy the nuclear family.
I have a newsflash. The nuclear family is long since dead. It is a 50s anachronism as far removed from the reality of the current situation as Mr Howard himself.
The nuclear family did not survive the atomic revolution and as far as I am concerned, NO NUKES IS GOOD NUKES.
And homosexuals were there at the beginning of the nuclear age: You may recall the little aircraft that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima was called the Enola Gay.
A happy coincidence.
And if the Prime Minister is so into the nuclear family can he explain why his refugee and immigration policies are designed to tear families apart? Or why he refuses to say sorry for the destruction of the perfectly-happy-in-situ nuclear Aboriginal families of the Stolen Generation? Or are Aboriginal families the wrong kind of “traditional”? Or how exactly the new industrial relations laws, which are seeing people with totally dependant family members able to be summarily sacked without recourse, help keep families together?
Maybe he plans to give all those people jobs in nuclear power plants?
Maybe he plans to force homosexuals to work in the power plants without protection… on the assumption they won’t be breeding and having families in any case?
Okay… so that’s about as credible as Gretel Killeen’s endorsement, but you can never be too sure with this Government.
