Hastie whinges about attention on his family - whaaaaa.......

H Andrew Hastie has done a Latham and cried to the media and all to leave his family and religion out of it all. Whhhaaaaaa........ Oh the poor dear, his family is getting national attention.

 All I can say to that is well, how does it feel? If he wants his family left alone he should leave mine alone too and allow us marriage equality. What business of his is  David and I's sexuality? On the other side of Australia? Across three time zones? 

 Then after saying to leave his family and religion alone, he says how proud he is of his Anglicanism. Won't answer questions about creationism (he believes in it) and his wife as secretary was involved in some church blog post about gays. But all of this is, according to him "Off limits".
In a forthright statement at the start of a campaign appearance, the former SAS captain hinted that questions of his theology were being pushed by his political opponents. 

Mr Hastie's father is a Presbyterian minister who it is understood believes in creationism. 

Asked about his own beliefs and the possibility he shared his father's creationist views Mr Hastie declared it was off limits. 

 ..................................... 

The 32-year-old Mr Hastie also declared he was opposed to same-sex marriage. 

"On the question of gay marriage that's been put to me, I am personally opposed to same-sex marriage but I am very much in favour of the Australian people having a popular vote to decide this crucial issue," he said. 

"It is a foundational issue to Australian society and therefore it should be decided by Australian people and not the political elite." 

That response was given as part of an answer to a question about a blog post his wife Ruth had uploaded while she was working as a receptionist at a church in Perth. more
Why? Surely if an unrepresentative swill believes in creationism and an invisible sky man that just zapped the world together in 7 days, then that's an issue if he wants to represent the public - the vast majority of Australians don't. Does he think the earth is only 6,000 years old too? 

If he doesn't agree with gay marriage, that's definitely an issue. If his family is so involved in antigayness that his wife thinks nothing of uploading an anti-gay blog post for the church, then surely that's an issue? How much more antigayness do you need in the Lieberal party FFS?

 It appears the Lieberals have chosen a fossil for Canning :s

 BTW at the same press conference, Howard just sort of happened to be clear on the other side of the country in WA and was there too, but got heckled about Manus Island :)
