Wagga council went down this path one week and had to overturn it the next.
The backlash from the Wagga ratepayers soon brought their council into line letting it know in no uncertain terms that such nonsense was neither wanted or needed.
This is just another minority cause like get up, me too and the vegan brigade out to cause mischief, when, as mayor Dal Broi pointed out such issues are already being addressed through the correct channels and such are not really council concerns.
This activists in Wagga were beaten by its ratepayers. Me thinks us ratepayers up here would react the same.
People tire of these minorities always on the warpath spruiking their venomous nonsense, anything to create discord to get noticed for all the wrong reasons.

CAN STUDENTS CHANGE AUSTRALIA?
Can a student of philosophy restore regional Australia? My plan is to discredit most politicians. The university does not seem to accept this plan. The university should listen to Socrates and his mates. The first session is 'critical thinking'. The text books that I have recommended are Me and Sussan Ley - Volume One and Griffith, the Enemies Within.

WE ARE GUIDED BY FREE WILL
In every aspect of his existence man's life is guided by his free will but always with the influence of Mother Nature as she pulls the strings of his being, as it is in all creation to carry on that creation.
The Bible put it thus "What is man, and what use is he" Ecclesiastes 18:1.
And obviously man's psychic must necessarily be forever in some state of tension in keeping an even keel by following a moral code.
A code which man has inherited since creation and which according to the practise thereof determine the outcome of his individual and collective life, and the outcome?
Simply, the Bible again "As you sow, so shall you reap" New Testament.
The tussle with the ubiquitous ego:
My ego is my captor, true
A prisoner he doth make me be,
Oh yes, I'm married to myself, I be,
And only divorce will set me free.
