TONY Abbott has thrown his support behind an anti-drugs program for
parents after his teenage daughter called him a ''lame, gay churchy loser''.
The Opposition spokesman for families was trying to talk to the 18-year-old
about the perils of drug abuse, ''with what I thought was a worthy moral
exhortation'', he said at the launch of How To Drug-Proof Your Kids program
yesterday.
Only a year ago police were called to Mr Abbott's home to disperse a crowd of
revellers trying to gatecrash his daughter's birthday party.
Yesterday, the developmental manager for gay youth support group Twenty10,
David Moutou, said ''gay'' was not synonymous with ''bad'' and was disappointed
it would be repeated that way by a respected member of Parliament.
''Young people in their school environment are hypersensitive to the use of words,
like 'gay', with negative connotations,'' he said.
The preventive program teaches parents how to talk to eight to 14-year-olds
about drinking, smoking and drugs. ''Parents are the most influential factor in
steering children away from drug use,'' the chief executive of Focus on the Family,
which developed the program, Brett McLeod, said.
WCV's: Agrees! He is a wanker!
We believe Tony Abbott (alias GOD the almighty) bases to many of his decisions
on his religion and its pissing us off! He is paid to be a politician, not a bloody priest.
TONYABBOTT HEAR THIS, GET OUT OF OUR FACES WITH YOUR SELF
RIGHTEOUS BULLSHIT OR GO JOIN THE PRIESTHOOD BECAUSE ,
YOUR DRACONIAN BELIEFS ARE NOT WANTED OR WELCOMED!!!!!
