Because the thread is about Martin Hamilton-Smith, I thought you were referring to him.

I didn't think he was openly gay back then, wasn't he married when he was premier?

The Liberals will flop at the next election. And that is a perfect and just outcome.

Crawf is talking about Mark Brindal, who is putting his hand up to be Lord Mayor, not Martin H-S.

Nice homophobic comment though shuza.

Im not homophobic - but many in society still are open to fears about gays having the same 'rights' as heteros (which they should have) If Parliament hasnt allowed gay marriage and all other legalities associated, support for a gay person to lead power of a party would be a vote of support for the legalisation of gay rights and marriage. Both Liberals and Labor, including Nationals and Family First oppose the legalisation of gay rights. Once political parties support and pass bills supporting these rights, then that would be the time when political members would support a gay person leading a party.

Great way to start a post.

There's already an openly gay federal party leader, Senator Bob Brown.

Uh, yeah. Voters are less homophobic than you, apparently.
