FOLLOWING the ALP conference decision to allow a conscience vote on gay marriage Paul Sheehan wrote in The Age, “The week began with another shift to Greens policy.” He wasn’t alone in equating the campaign for gay marriage with a rise in the influence of the green Left, but gays and greens are only the most recent of acquaintances and the cause of gay marriage is the antithesis of the march of socialism.

The green socialist movement in Australia may be led by a gay man but socialist and communist governments have never been friends of liberty, least of all in love.
