$245million to put anti-gay chaplains in schools

This is outrageous. Why should taxpayers money be used to put religious anti-gay chaplains in schools? Even if we were a theocracy, suddenly in the middle of of a "budget emergency", the budget that's supposed to be tightening belts finds money to put religious representatives in schools. What about trained counselors?

There is a petition going for I guess the senate, not to let this happen and to block the measure in the senate:
The Australian government just released the Federal Budget with $245 million to send chaplains from anti-gay religious groups, such as ACCESS Ministries and Your Dream Incorporated, to schools where lesbian, gay, bi and trans students are already bullied and harassed. 

There's still a chance to stop it. If we expose this secret religious agenda right now, while the budget is being debated. 

Help raise the alarm and stop taxes from being spent to bully vulnerable teens. We only have days – Sign now! Sign here.
