After Christensen's outrageous comments saying the Safe Schools program is akin to paedophilia, one would think it'd be a no brainer for PM Turnbull to pull him up about it. I'm sure it would be for the great majority of Australians.
However not so. Once again Turnbull slimes his way around it with words, but stops short of pulling up Christensen over it.
How would you feel in some of the over 500 schools around Australia that have introduced the Safe Schools program? What if you were a student accessing it? Then to be told that you were being duped by paedophilia? It's completely absurd, and the fact that Christensen hasn't been reprimanded over it beggars belief.
It's also an insult to the entire LGBT community, with the same old same old from yesteryear that gays are paedophiles.
The prime minister is facing pressure to reprimand Mr Christensen for saying the anti-bullying program was akin to a paedophile grooming a victim because it recommended pornographic content, sex shops, sex clubs and adult communities to school kids.
The program had links to websites which advised kids about chest-binding, penis-tucking and gay sex and gave instructions to children about unblocking websites without their parents’ knowledge, he told parliament.
Greens senator Robert Simms, who is openly gay, said the prime minister should condemn the “homophobic comments”.
“To compare a program that’s about helping young people to ‘grooming’ is utterly reprehensible – it’s profoundly offensive and deeply hurtful.”
However, Safe Schools is gaining popularity despite the push by conservative MPs to shut it down.
The number of schools signed up to the Safe Schools Coalition has jumped to 515 from 490 in just over two weeks.
