Tony Abbott’s endless cavalcade of inappropriate comments and embarrassing missteps has continued today with a revealing insight into his opinion of the fight for LGBTI equality, the Australian Greens have said.
“People don’t fight discrimination because it’s fashionable, they do it because it’s right,” the Greens’ LGBTI spokesperson, Senator Sarah Hanson-Young said.
“The pressure of the day-to-day campaign means Tony Abbott is struggling to stay on script.
“As we find out more and more about what Tony Abbott actually thinks, many Liberal voters will be shaking their heads and wondering what to do on September 7th.
“Trivialising a global human rights movement as a ‘fashion of the moment’ shows us all how out of touch Tony Abbott is with modern Australians.
“Ending discrimination against gay and lesbian Australians is not a passing fad, it is a long and hard-fought campaign for equality that the Greens are proud to have led in the Parliament.”
