It was reported in The Advertiser today that Family First approached the Australian Sex Party in an attempt to gain preference votes. I find it extremely unlikely that Family First would approach the Australian Sex Party as stated in the article. More likely Fiona Patten (Australian Sex Party's president) was lying through her teeth.
Let's examine the facts. Family First prescribes to the idea of a nuclear family and its policy in regards to abortion is to promote all beings, from conception. The Australian Sex Party, in contrast, campaigns for abortions, same-sex marriages, legal prostitution and the validity of pornography. If, indeed, a political party could be less family-orientated I couldn't conceive of one.
Fiona Patten describes Family First in the article as being the “worst aspects of conservative Australia”. If Family First’s policies and agenda’s can be described as the “worst aspects” of anything I’d hate to think what abortions, prostitutions and pornography could be described as.
Thankfully, Fiona Patten was most likely telling us this for a publicity stunt to gain media attention. Family First has nothing to gain from accepting preference votes from a party and everything to lose in reputation. Unfortunate that I must add to the attention, however, the claims from the Australian Sex Party must be refuted. While I do not share all the views of Family First the idea of them getting into bed with the Australian Sex Party is abhorrent.
