Christensen accuses professor of promoting paedophilia, under parliamentary privilege

What a vile man this Christensen is (at right of above picture). I don't know what kind of sexual dysfunction is going on in his head, but to accuse a professor of promoting paedophilia just because of his role in the Safe Schools anti-bullying program for the LGBT, is disgusting in the extreme. Some would call it sick. 

What's more he did it under parliamentary privilege so he can't be sued. 

The evidence he gives for this is a quote by the professor, from a quarterly newsletter "Gay Information" from 1982, some 34 years ago. Talk about "jumping the shark". Is this the sort of crap we're going to be subjected to in a plebiscite?

One of parliament’s biggest opponents of the Safe Schools program, Queensland MP George Christensen, has accused a professor linked to the anti-bullying program of being an advocate of paedophilia. 

Christensen used parliamentary privilege to level the accusation at Gary Dowsett, deputy director of the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society at La Trobe University. 

Another La Trobe academic runs the Safe Schools Coalition and the group is based at the university. 

He alleged Dowsett was a “long-time advocate of intergenerational sex, otherwise known as paedophilia” and quoted from a 1982 article in the quarterly newsletter, “Gay information”, that equated the touch of a parent to that between a paedophile and child. The Guardian

So far the university has backed the professor all the way, with the professor playing it cool and saying nothing.

La Trobe University put out a statement backing Dowsett late on Wednesday evening. 

“We are appalled that a respected academic has been attacked using parliamentary privilege. This is a blatant attempt to distract attention from the independent endorsement of the highly effective Safe Schools program,” a university spokesman said. “We stand by the important work of Professor Dowsett and his team.” The Guardian
