High Court challenge lodged against ACT

Abbott is digging in his heals over the Australian Capital Territory's just passed marriage equality laws and his sisters engagement to to her girlfriend. After lodging a high court challenge against the ACT's new laws putting himself on the wrong side of many Australians, he's also letting his doctrinal Catholic views come between the relationship between him and his sister. In a radio interview he's said this about attending the wedding (or "ceremony" as he puts it) of his sister and her partner:

Speaking with 3AW's Neil Mitchell, Mr Abbott said his sister Christine Forster's engagement to her partner Virginia Edwards will not stop his government from attempting to veto the ACT's newly passed same-sex marriage laws. 

"I am a traditionalist on this," Mr Abbott told 3AW, before revealing that "if there's a ceremony of some kind, yes, I will be there with a present. I'll do the right thing". 

But despite his well wishes, the Prime Minister says the nuptials will do little to change his view on the contentious matter. 

"From time immemorial in every culture that's been known, marriage, of that kind of solemnised relationship, has been between a man and a woman." more

Typical of religious blinkers. Doctrine comes before people. certainly the behaviour of a religious bigot. He won't even support his own sister. What's even more disappointing is the lame lie that marriage was always between a man and a woman. This is our Prime Minister, one who unashamedly lives his life by the teachings of the church, proclaiming the high moral ground, yet he doesn't even know his own fuckin Bible.

No Tony, even if you want to take the teachings from the Bible itself and not the church, marriage hasn't been between a man and a woman since "time immemorial". A Quick history lesson Tony from America's best Christian:
