All is not as it seems

Reading this:
The right-wing MLC and strict Catholic, known for his conservative views, was promoting a lobby group committed to stamping out the sexualisation of children.

...you would assume Greg Donnely was a Liberal, National or Independent.

He is in fact part of the ALP.

This is not mentioned once in the article - makes one wonder about institutional bias in the Courier Mail.

It also makes one wonder about the assumptions created about those of us who consider ourselves right.

I am an economic liberial (in the classical sense) and pretty laissez-faire socially - yet I am lumped in with clowns like this.

Conservative catholocism (or conservative or radical pretty much anything-ism) is inherently of the left because it seeks to control and prescribe how we as individuals can live our lives. The sooner people realise this the better.

The hallmark of the left is control, both economically and socially - as the two are symbiotic. The hallmark of the right is freedom, both economic and social for the same reason.
