In this weeks news I read 'Australian opposition MPs said they will block prime ministers plans to hold a national vote on legalising same sex marriage. Immediately this came as no surprise to me as I know from experience many people in Australia hold very strong opinions on people of particular race or sex, basically anyone that isn't white or straight which could be viewed as extremely hypocritical due to Island in which they live on belonging to the Aboriginal people before Britain invaded and populated the island with people of white skin colour. I personally think this news story is a current reminder of how many people including high ranking MPs are stuck in their ways and hold twisted opinions about various cultures,races and religions, the current election in America also being a perfect example of how the dominant ideology can rise to power regardless of holding strong opinions on a particular group of people, like Trumps opinions on Muslim people.
