moral??? hardly. they support gay marriage and euthanasia and are pro abortion being totally decriminalised as well as decriminalising all drugs. None of those are 'moral' positions.

As Julie Bishop noted in an interview last night, the Liberal's policy on asylum seekers is well articulated. Indonesia clearly knows the Liberals position. They have been discussing this issue with Indonesia through a number of forums.

Another inane beat up from Labor.

Who are you to decide what is morally acceptable? with polling showing over 70% of Australians want to see a change in legislation to allow gay marriage, how do you decide that it's immoral? aren't the morals of the day determined by the standards society sets? 40 yrs ago, you could have said it was immoral and most if not all would have agreed ... I'm not so sure that applies today

That Labor continues to raise this does them no favours whatsoever - it merely draws attention back to their own policy failure.

morality is NOT defined that way. Otherwise the murder of Jews in nazi germany was a moral act on the basis of being popular.

fine, then how do you define what is moral? ...and I think you would find if you ask most people if it what happened to the Jews was morally correct, even during WWII most would have said no ...
