Australia’s new Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said he sends his daughters to an independent Baptist school so the “values of others” aren’t imposed on them, when questioned about Safe Schools in a recent interview.
Speaking to Sydney radio 2GB, he was asked about his views on the Safe Schools program, which aims to foster LGBTI inclusion and to eradicate bullying in the classroom.
“I don’t want the values of others being imposed on my children in school,” he said.
“And I don’t think that should be happening in a public school or a private school.
“It’s not happening in the school I send my kids to, and that’s one of the reasons I send them there – that’s why I want to protect religious freedoms in independent schools.”
He added that public education should be funded federally.
“[But] how about we just have state schools that focus on things like learning maths and science,” he said.
In Victoria, where Safe Schools is overseen by the state government, an estimated 98 per cent of secondary schools have taken part in the program.
However, this year’s federal budget included news that the school chaplains program would be made permanent, effectively replacing the Safe Schools anti-bullying program.
The permanent funding for the chaplain program means it would effectively replace the Safe Schools program, whose federal funding ran out more than a year ago, leaving states and territories or individual schools to bear the cost of delivering the program if they chose to continue.
In New South Wales, a new Life Ready program is set to replace sexual and gender diversity course Crossroads in public schools next year.
In the meantime in predominantly Christian Australia , gay men and women can still get married under this backward Christian Prime Minister.
In the meantime a Gay woman is being shipped in public in Malaysia under Sharia Law. No one from LGTBi press or hardly anyone from within that community in Australia is enraged about this blatant crime against humanity.
Not surprised, our new PM is a Pentecostal and their views are not exactly progressive. This is the problem when politics and religion are not separated. The needs of the religious few are catered for while the majority are not. We need the Safe Schools program, we don’t need chaplains. I don’t believe that ScoMo will last in his position as PM, but the damage he could do while he is in could be incalculable.
Good points Dave, we really need to know just what his real views are. We know the liberals get a lot of money from mining and mineral entities, but he also has the Rudduck report into ‘religious freedom’ to act against same sex marriage. We need to demand that he releases that document before any election. As, if they win he is sure to release and implement iit afterwards.
When any politician s are on the gravy train they have created for themselves with their huge salaries – Morrison has a Base Salary of over $500,000.00 – they should be sending their children to Private Schools because they can more than afford to do so.
Our politicians – from all sides ALP, Greens, Liberals, Nationals, One Nation, Australian Conservatives, Liberal Democrats, Centre Alliance and all the others have Base Salaries which start at $206,000.00. They have an almost entirely Taxpayer paid Pension Scheme – a scheme so generous the rest of the Australian and overseas populations can only dream about and it is automatically Fully Indexed. The there are all the “perks” they have awarded themselves through their privately (by the politicians themselves) owned Remuneration Tribunal whose members themselves benefit from the regular decisions it makes to improve condition for the politicians.
Free Travel to and from Canberra or for State & Territory politicians to and from their local capital city. Extraordinarily generous “Over-night Allowances” should, and this occurs very regularly, they have to spend a night away from their homes and as has been revealed very often the houses, flats, apartments etc. these parasites stay in are owned by a Family Member. None of us are entitled to that sort of largesse. Can you claim the cost of getting to and from work as a Tax Deduction? No you can’t and your employers certainly won’t pay for it as we pay for our politicians. The Taxpayer-subsidised motor vehicles the use of which is not restricted to ferrying just the politicians around but which they also use to transport their children to school and do the weekly shopping!
Then there are all those so-called “Study Tours”, The “Parliamentary Business” Tours to the “Fleshpots of the World”. At least Business Class, but usually Premium Business Class (almost as good as the old First Class) travel all paid for by the Taxpayers,
The 5-Star Luxury Hotels, the Michelin Starred Gourmet Restaurants – All paid for by the Taxpayers
The Chauffeur-driven limousines, the Helicopters to cart these parasites around. All paid for by the Taxpayers.
The Parliamentary Committees they get themselves appointed to which, even if they never actually meet, they get paid upwards of $35,000.00 per year on top of their $206,000.00 Base Salary and they get it for each Parliamentary Committee they can manage to get appointed to. The old “Its not what you know, but who you know” trick so some of these parasites can get another $100K or more.
How else do you think some former Union Hack can own a reported 21 Properties? How else can some not-so-successful lawyer who gets into politics become the owner of 10 or 12 properties?
They live virtually Free of Charge.
Not only can they afford to send their children to Private Schools they should bloody well be required to do so!
ScoMo is a Pentacostal. As far as I understand it, those guys believe the world is about 6000 years old. While I disagree with his views on Safe Schools, I also disagree with his views on pretty well everything else too.
The story here isn’t ScoMo hates Safe Schools, it’s why isn’t the media uncovering what he does believe? Does he reject evolution? Does he permit anti-vaxxers to do their thing? Does his idea of religious freedom include unscientific, dangerous gay conversion therapy?
Just who is our new PM?
