DREADPUBLISHING: John Heard In 'The Australian' On Kevin Rudd, Jon Stanhope, ACT Civil Unions, Social Conservativism & The Family

[UPDATE] Young leaders / voters support social conservativism and family-friendly policies.

[UPDATE] Mostly good news for the US: violent crime, drug abuse, abortion, etc. trend down, but on the "condition and strength of the American family", there has been little (if any) improvement. Good people can do something about that too.

[UPDATE] Challenged on the libertarian Right and the inner-city Left, family-serving / pro-marriage policy arguments hold the Centre.*

[UPDATE] Swift reponse: PM Rudd clarifies Labor's position, steps away from radical civil unions and 'gay marriage'.

:: Update ::

DREADNOUGHT's op-ed on the ACT civil union scheme, Prime Minister Rudd's broken promise and the electoral power of family-serving policies was published today in The Australian newspaper, the national broadsheet.

:: The Upshot ::

Buy the paper. Embrace the family. Secure our future.

* (Indeed, the support from diverse, otherwise disparate (and usually younger) voters and voter groups has been overwhelming. Thank you for your emails, phonecalls and Facebook messages).
