Even Kevin bloody Andrews has pulled out. It seems the World Conga line of Fuckwits (World Congress of Families) far right wing anti-science nutty agenda, is even too nutty for the gov. And they're nutbags in their own right.
The organisers are evidently mystified as to what's all gone wrong. They seem completely unable to understand that they're religious extremists, thinking that their view are the only right and normal ones. I'd say this is a lesson for them in Australian tolerance and acceptance of difference, and perhaps an opportunity to access their own intolerance and non-acceptance.
Senator Larissa Waters, the Australian Greens’ spokesperson for women, said that Andrews opening the conference would have sent a message that Australia accepted international campaigns led by the congress to criminalise lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people and to restrict access to abortion.
“Australians value equality, diversity and autonomy, as shown by the passionate public opposition to political representatives supporting the Congress and spreading its unfounded myths, including the completely discredited link between abortion and breast cancer,” she said.
“There’s still so much more work to be done to secure women’s and LGBT rights and freedoms in Australia – we still have not legalised equal marriage and abortion is still a crime in some states.
“We can’t afford any backward steps, which is why it’s so important that the community has stood up against attempts by Abbott government ministers to drag us back to the 1950s.” more
