Monash expert: Deeming defamation decision a blow to Liberals

The following can be attributed to Dr Ghazarian:

“Politically, this is a gift for Labor just as support for the Allan Government has been sliding in Victoria. 

“The Coalition appeared to be attracting voters and building momentum towards the next state election. Today, the Liberal Party is once again talking about itself. History suggests that voters shun parties when they appear divided. 

“The Liberal Party continues to appear divided, even after 10 years in opposition. The Christmas period will allow the party to take some time and evaluate its next steps. With less than two years to go until the next election, the Liberal Party seems to be running out of time to present itself as a coherent and cohesive political force.’’

The board’s decision to allow children access to the radical book Gender Queer by LGBTIQA+ activist Maia Kobabe is further evidence it is not acting in the interests of mainstream mums and dads, said lead Senate candidate for South Australia, Christopher Brohier. “No mum or dad wants their child’s school library lending their children a book which depicts a man in a sexual act with a child,…
