‘”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.
