Dr Nelson I presume

I'm no major fan of the (new) leader of the (new) opposition, Dr Brendan Nelson, but this article discussing his stance on gay rights, etc, is a step in the right direction if he wants my vote in three years' time.

I was secretly hoping Malcolm Turnbull would be chosen as the (new) Liberals leader, but it looks like Dr Nelson could be a handy fall-back. Newly crowned Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has a similar stance on gay rights, but hasn't yet shown his hand as to the path he'll take while in office; granted, he's only officially been Prime Minister since 9am this morning. I expect nothing dramatic to be honest, but as Dr Nelson says, we need to address

"the social and economic injustices affecting homosexuals"

Sounds good to me, now lets see it happen ladies.

Actually, for a couple of old boys, they'd make a cute couple ...
