Do you think it is right for the government to cut funding for universities (all the while securing his daughter a $60,000 scholarship - great timing) yet somehow he is able to pull $250 million out of his ass to implement a school chaplains program? I understand that counsellors etc are very useful in schools (especially for kids such as yourself who have spoken about problems with eating disorders openly on this site previously) but the fact that the funding he has found goes to fund something with a religious background? Or perhaps that he won't even comment about gay marriage anymore (have you heard him being grilled by the Newtown High school students..after being asked about gay marriage he says 'let's have a blokes question') all this despite having a lesbian sister!!! He is not doing what is right for the Australian people because of his religious background, therefore his religion has EVERYTHING to do with it.
I know that not every religious person believes the same things as he does, each person interprets it differently...but in this situation religion (or at least his understanding of it) is at fault. What he has been raised to believe influences the decisions he makes for the 20+ million people that live in our beautiful country.

Yea, I don't think the religion itself is the problem. I think the issue is Abbott forcing it upon everyone.
I don't think anyone is! I heard this great analogy from a friend 'just because you don't like avocados, it doesn't mean you don't have to eat shit' but unfortunately I think that is basically why I think he got voted in.
