We have a new Religious Right government down here in Deepest Darkest Queensland
They get in regularity on a wave of fear and usually, they create enough nastiness that they don’t get a second term
This time they are mobilising people’s fear of children, they say “adult time for adult crime” for kiddies and they need to overturn our human rights legislation to do this.
They have a deal with the Katter Party to decriminalise abortion.
They come bearing the seeds of their own destruction but they will cause a lot of pain.
Key understandings are that we need to avoid framing the conversation where foetuses are mistaken for human babies and where is OK that women surrender bodily autonomy to the state
