	Lateline - 02/08/2003: Debate over Vatican ruling . Australian Broadcasting Corp
		RODNEY CROOME: At the moment in Tasmania, for instance, and in some other Australian States, same-sex couples are not recognised as next of kin.
		RODNEY CROOME: On top of that, this document says that adoption by same-sex couples and, by extension, parenting by same-sex couples, is a form of violence against the children involved, which, to me, is a very extreme statement and, of course, highly derogatory of those gay families which are already in existence.
		RODNEY CROOME: I'm not concerned that the gains which have already been made towards equality and justice will be turned back.

	Stateline Tasmania
		RODNEY CROOME: We're talking about same-sex couples who already care for children, and what this legislation will do is recognise those families -- that they're in existence -- and try and provide them with the kind of support and protection that other families take for granted.
		RODNEY CROOME: Well, even though this legislation IS disappointing because it doesn't grant full equality when the Government said that that's what it was going to do, still the provisions in the bill are important, and they're important for real people.
		RODNEY CROOME: I agree completely, statutes ARE blunt instruments and they shouldn't be proscribing and banning a complete group of people from caring for children simply because of their sexual orientation.

	Three Tasmanian Law Reformers
		Rodney Croome, not daunted, took the matter to the High Court for a declaration affirming the constitutionality of the federal law[62].
		According to Rodney Croome, recent surveys have shown support for legal equality for same-sex couples in northern rural communities of Tasmania, such as Deloraine, La Trobe and Ulverstone is as high as 70%.
		According to the writer, the openness of modern economies to minority communities, such as those for whom Rodney Croome speaks, is an accurate indicator of the receptivity of those communities to new ideas and thus to creativity itself.

		This man through his preparedness to go anywhere, meet any group in their place, and show us by his own human presence that our fears were make believe, shadows of our imagination, has made this task, if not redundant, at least much less urgent.
		Rodney is one of the very few Tasmanians who has the personal following and recognition to get a large progressive vote, and with financial and other support, would be very likely to pick up enough Labour and Green preferences to get over the line and pick up that second progressive seat in Denison.
		Rodney’s role would be to broker a short-term sensible settlement, a deal to take the personal heat out of the current mess, and let Tasmanians see that minority government and genuine democratic power sharing can work - that there is nothing to be afraid of.

		Croome cites opinion poll results from 1988 when only 31% of Tasmanians were prepared to support gay law reform and anti-discrimination legislation (which was the lowest result in the country).
		According to Croome, the campaign was one of “ceaseless community education”, which had a “dramatic effect in a tight-knit community”.
		Croome explained that the struggle for legal recognition of democratic rights of lesbians and gay men was increasingly seen as party of “a broader reinvention of Tasmania”, “a metaphor for a freer Tasmania”;.

		Rodney may not be wonderful, but he is at least doing something, and there is, in my opinion, still a lot to be done.
		In 1996, Rodney went to the High Court (Croome v Tas) to find that the Tasmanian laws criminalising homosexuality were inconsistent with the Commonwealth law and therefore were no longer valid.

		Mr Croome said the church could not afford to exclude gay men from the clergy at a time when fewer men were being called to the priesthood.

		Croome told MSO that even the Australian Democrats, the party from where the bill originated, needed a "push" to keep the bill as a priority.
		Tasmanian Gay and Lesbian Rights Group spokesperson, Rodney Croome said: "Put simply, the Government's bill fails to recognise that the discrimination we experience is almost always because of who we are, not what we do in bed." Effectively, discrimination would need to be directly related to sexual activity to be covered by the legislation.
		While Croome praised the efforts of the Liberal Party, he said there would be a campaign to push for amendments.

		DREADNOUGHT has been involved in a low-key, good-natured blog-battle with famed Tasmanian 'gay rights' activist Rodney Croome over gay 'marriage' (which he champions and I oppose) and to a lesser extent the rights of the feeble elderly (which I champion and he appears to oppose).
		Rodney then launches in a tortured explanation of just how he is 'not an assimilationist' before ending by admitting that there is an 'apparent contradiction' in his reasoning.
		DREADNOUGHT thinks rather Croome's seething hatred (this is not too harsh a term) for the Catholic Church has coloured his view of one of its more notable members.
