Election 2010 - Sex Party Vs Family first

This morning I watched a debate (using the term lightly) on Channel Seven's Sunrise Show. It was between Fiona Patten of the Sex Party and Wendy Francis of Family First Party. It is a shame that two parties with valid points had such a problem expressing them in a debate forum. Except for the first thirty second intros both Fiona and Wendy were busy interrupting for either argument to be heard. After watching a second time on the internet I realise that the debate covered;
#Government censorship of billboards
#The internet filter,
#Gay marriages,
#Tax exempt status of religions

Wendy did seem to have a very narrow idea of the Family. The text-book husband, wife and children has gone by the wayside and I don't think that Family First realises it. It is true that when I grew up there were only a limited amount of kids at school from blended families but now it is the norm. Most marriages end in divorce these days and some people live together in defacto relationships. It might be good to live in the fantasy world of the good old days but the reality is that politics is a contest and the voters want their politicians to represent their way of life. I cringed as I watched Wendy publicly speak out against Gay Marriage she has just lost her party the votes of every gay person and every person with gay people in their lives.

As Fiona and Wendy were debating over whether Religion should be tax exempt Wendy said, "Well I think it is a free society". What the! So it is a free society when religious groups want to build churches but when it comes to freedom of speech on the internet and advertising on billboards the government should step in as a controller.
I know that these parties are politically poles apart but if you think about it on a social level they are a cause and effect. Without Sex in most cases you will not have a family to worry about. I have six children and yes I knows what causes it. But just because I like sex does not mean that I do not want to protect them from the evils in the world.
In my opinon while the debate was badly managed making it look more like an episode of Jerry Springer it was better than the Gillard Vs Abbott debate.
