Abbott Launches Education Policy at Anti-Gay School

Hon-Tony-Abbott-MHR-official-photo1Tony Abbott has launched the coalition’s eduction policy this morning at a Sydney School that calls homosexuality an abomination and promotes that changing one’s gender is against the natural order of God.

The Liberal Leader chose Sydney’s Penrith Christian School as the location to launch his eduction policy and talk about values. When questioned by reporters Mr Abbott told The Age newspaper that he respectfully disagreed with the school’s position.

‘”I respectfully disagree with lots of things that are said on that particular subject and obviously I disagree with that one,” said Mr Abbott.

The Opposition Leader refused to be drawn on whether he was offended on behalf of his sister, Sydney Councillor Christine Forster, who is gay.

The schools Principal Bruce Neville said the schools principle of faith statement was based around quotes from the Bible and would not be changed.
