Australian christian prime minister still all for discrimination and homophobia

The Australian government, led by christian Prime Minister, John Howard, has announced plans to introduce discriminatory legislation into parliament during the next sitting, thereby preventing gay couples from adopting children overseas.

This would be achieved by denying the visa application automatically for any child who is being brought into the country for the purposes of adoption by a same sex couple.

While some states have permitted same-sex couple adoption, this legislation would override the states.

This comes remarkably soon after a lengthy report was presented to government detailing the large number of instances in which homosexuals are discriminated against in Australia, particularly at the federal level. Of course, the government, led by a known liar who makes "non-binding promises" during elections and to colleagues for support, continues to maintain the falsehood that they are for equal rights and are indeed non-discriminatory.

Thou shalt not bear false witness eh John?

Given that Howard has repeatedly stated that children should only be brought up by a man and woman who are married, one assumes that in order to prove that they're non-discriminatory, the government will outlaw divorce for couples with children. This probably won't come about however as the government whose mindset is firmly entrenched in the 1950's do believe that heterosexuals are first class citizens.
