Now it's going to be a postal vote that won't count.

Kevin Rudd's godson attacked whilst campaigning for marriage equality.

http://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/gay-ma ... bdbba01d15

I'd be interested to know HOW he was campaigning...not that it deserves a violent reaction though.

He wasn't actually campaigning at the time. If you read the article & follow the link to the Facebook post, he was waiting at a bus stop.

From the article

FORMER Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has tweeted a picture of his godson who he claims was attacked while campaigning for marriage equality.

The FB post said he confronted someone tearing down flags.

I did. Read the second sentence.

I'm not condoning it, or saying he shouldn't have confronted the guy. I just don't think he was sitting at the bus stop and got assaulted.

In a perfect world, he should've dropped the other guy.

ATTENTION: we need YOUR HELP to identify a man who unleashed a violent homophobic attack yesterday in Bulimba. As you know, our rainbow flags were ripped down from the Oxford St roundabout, but much worse, we just found out that a young local man was assaulted when confronting the perpetrator pulling down the flags.

The perpetrator was yelling:
You know what I hate? faggots!
I hate ******* faggots!

He then looked straight at the young man (who was waiting for his bus) and said:

I hate ******* faggots!

So the young man said:
That's ok, I don't like you.

Perp: did you just call me a homophobe?

Young man: yup.

He then walked over to where the young man was sitting and from his standing position of 6'2, he punched the young man from below, striking his head, throwing his head back, and then walked off.

No one at the bus stop did anything!!!

PLEASE help us identify this man. He is described as Caucasian, about 185cm, grey hair, short on side and longer on the top. He has a stubbly grey beard. He was wearing a greeny yellow stripped button up, short sleeved shirt, with khaki shorts. He was quite large with a beer belly.

If you saw him along Oxford St or you were at the roundabout or bus stop (Riding RD) yesterday morning, please contact me with any details. Anything could help us!! This man is dangerous and must be found.

To me that says he was confronted by a dickhead homophobe while waiting for a bus.

Exactly how is this a violent homophobic attack?

Did he punch the bloke because he was homoesexual? Did he even know he was homosexual? I'm confused lol.

This is what I took as the dickhead homophobe confronting Rudds godson. The article actually contradicts itself.

Thats a quote from a Facebook page, not my words

That's all I was saying. It contradicts itself, so we don't know what actually happened.

[cracka]

All I was trying to say was Rudds godson wasn't actually campaigning as the original article suggested. Bit of sensationalist journalism

[Q.]

Clearly Rudd Jnr bullied the homophobe by calling him a homophobe

[The Bedge]

I'm offended!

[tipper]

Clearly Rudd Jnr bullied the homophobe by calling him a homophobe

how dare he headbutt that poor mans innocent fist

[shoe boy]

This forum and posts are exactly why this process is a disgrace !

We elect politicians to make decisions in this country and this so called survey ,vote , is an example of a government with no spine split between extreme religious nuts .

Again .
