Clive Bibby: We allow this madness at our peril!

A recent decision by the Australian Federal Court sets a precedent in Law that will become difficult to overturn but, for the sake of humanity, overcoming it we must.

The ruling by three activist judges is in many ways a battle between “good and evil” or in the modern vernacular, it is a fight between identity ideology and biological science - a situation which, in spite of all the noise, there should be only one argument.

Unfortunately this growing WOKE ideology has, until now, based its threat to society on an appeal to those individuals who feel marginalised trying to deal with their own insecurities.

While there is no question modern day humanity has evolved to the point where minorities who regard themselves as somewhat different to the mainstream have challenged existing human rights legislation in an effort to create diferent but not equal political recognition in areas where traditionally biological science has been the arbiter.

And as a consequence, we have been forced to make allowances for those minorities who see themselves as disenfranchised simply because the courts are increasingly allowing it.

However. even though giant strides have been made in overcoming prejudice in society, there is a great deal of difference between a more acceptable expanded definition of biological differences and a move to include those who claim to be biologically different without scientific proof.

In other words, the radical courts have ruled that it is a person’s individual right to introduce ideological philosophy that justifies body mutilation practices that enable them to live the lie they have chosen. While it is true that this movement has been instrumental in changing laws that previously resulted in persecution of those involved in “same sex” relationships - there is still much to do until we can be satisfied that those hurtful sex discrimination activities are permanently erased from the stature books.

But having solved that one major political question about a person’s right to peacefully coexist with neighbours of different sexual preferences, society has moved on towards individual safeguards where identity politics appear to be more important than the science based evidence we have traditionally used to establish the egalitarian framework we aspire to.

And the situation is not a pretty sight.

It has become farcical when advocates and supporters of DEI based legislation refuse to answe simple questions under oath about the definition of a man or a woman.Instead they trot out these word salads based on an identity commensurate with how they feel at any time of the day or night.

But wait, there’s more!

You may be surprised to know that is exactly the legal requirement for anyone choosing to enrol on the Maori voting roll in this country - no need for any proof suggesting inherited blood lines justifying a claim of Maori whakapapa. It is a rort!

While this challenge to commonsense rulings about human biological differences has become the main talking point throughout the “Free World”, it has unfortunately enabled elite radical minority groups to gain advantages others don’t enjoy in areas where the discriminatory practices are more subtle.

But as you might expect, following the recent Australian court rulings in favour of a “non birthing” adult male person’s control over vulnerable juveniles, this inhumane and non-democratic behaviour which has no basis in science is destined for the High or, if necessary, the Supreme Court.

When all the signs appear to be suggesting the “IPCC’s origin of Climate Change” is a giant hoax, we must also be asing why this other fraudulent ideology called DEI is being allowed to gain so much traction?

Has the world gone completely mad?
