We in The Australian Sex Party value your freedom – even the freedom to refuse this request!
No doubt you have heard that the date for the federal election has been announced for Saturday 14 September.
While some commentators have already called the result, this election campaign could throw up a few surprises.
One really horrible surprise could be that the balance of power in the Senate falls to the very conservative religious right. If this was to happen, religious programs could be extended throughout our public schools, access to abortion could be further restricted, X rated films banned, euthanasia subject to even more criminal sanctions and drug users spending half their lives in jails.
There will be at least six religious political parties running in this election. While, individually, they won't get as many votes as we will, once they pool their votes via the senate preference system there is a very real chance that they could get one more of their mob into the Senate.
But we can stop this nightmare scenario with your help.

On Sunday in St Kilda the Australian Sex Party will participate in Pride March. We march with other organisations and community groups in a public display of the courage, solidarity, pride and diversity of the lesbian, gay men, bisexuals, transgender and intersex people and their supporters.
In doing so we remember those who are can't be there. Those who took their life due to homophobic bullying or discrimination.
Sadly the exposure draft of the Human Rights and Anti-Discrimination Bill 2012 from the Gillard Government seeks to entrench exemptions for religious organisations to discriminate on a person's sexuality, gender or marital status. Anything which offends their religious sensibilities. This extends to religious organisations providing government services.
It is not good enough and our LGBTI youth deserve better. From this government and from all of us.
How many more will die before Australians demand better?

The Australian Sex Party wants the Prime Minister to announce fixed parliamentary terms rather than a fixed date for an election.
Party President, Fiona Patten, said that the uncertainty caused to legislative programs by not having a deadline to work to was very damaging to the economy and resulted in ‘go slow’ attitudes in the public service.
“The Prime Minister can claim that knowing the date of the election will stop unnecessary speculation in the media but really governments need to know from the beginning of their term, when they will face the people again”, she said.
“Fixed terms allow people to plan economic and social programs without having an electoral gun held to their heads half way through”.

Sex Party policy on religion and sexual abuse is starting to be recognised by the nation's media.
Party president, Fiona Patten, recently gave an interview to ABC radio on why the party was launched with a policy to call a Royal Commission into child abuse in the nation's churches. She points out that not only has the church heirachy and their lawyers been complicit in covering up the sins of the fathers but so have a number of politicians who may escape scrutiny under the terms of reference of the Royal Commission.
