It was Kevin bloody Andrews to the rescue for the World Congress of wacko Families, who suddenly found themselves without a venue and the reality that Australians aren't nearly as far out nutbags as they are. In fact Australians protesting at how nutbaggy the WCF's was. After having four venues cancel on them, Andrews offered them the main committee room in parliament house.
Well what more would you expect from this gov of old bitter white catholic men? Something secular? Lovely isn't it. Our parliament house playing host to a bunch of crazies. The saddest thing is, likely the only ones that will find representation in the wacko's is the gov itself - they're full of wacko-ness.
Social services minister Kevin Andrews has booked out the main committee room of parliament house on behalf of an anti-gay marriage organisation which is linked to the controversial World Congress of Families.
The Australian Families Association (AFA) is commemorating the tenth anniversary of the redefining of marriage as “between a man and a woman” in the 2004 amendment of the Marriage Act with a conference on “strengthening the family”.
In past years the organisation has held public events at parliament house. This year’s affair is a private event with all MPs invited to attend. The committee room must be booked by a sitting member. Andrews booked the room for the organisation, but is not attending, a spokeswoman told Guardian Australia.
The AFA conference on Wednesday will hear from a number of speakers on “relationship literacy for youth, strengthening marriages, family-based taxation and the economics of the family”.
The organisation will call for the government to “renew a culture of strong and lasting marriages by educating young people about the benefits of marriage and getting government taxation and support structures right,” the AFA’s national president Terri Kelleher said in a statement. more
