"I think that there are some important things from our past that need to continue to be part of our present and part of our future," she said. "If I was in a different walk of life, if I'd continued in the law and was partner of a law firm now, I would express the same view, that I think for our culture, for our heritage, the Marriage Act and marriage being between a man and a woman has a special status.
"Now, I know people might look at me and think that's something that they wouldn't necessarily expect me to say, but that is what I believe.
"I'm on the record as saying things like I think it's important for people to understand their Bible stories, not because I'm an advocate of religion - clearly, I'm not - but once again, what comes from the Bible has formed such an important part of our culture."
Ms Gillard said she had a "pro-union, pro-Labor upbringing in a quite conservative family, in the sense of personal values"."

ReplyDeleteThat is right, and Julia should not be allowed to vote, let alone be the prime minister, I wonder if Julia and hubby will be getting any slaves, or have a few of the convicts from Port Arthur tend her gardens. She will then need to kick out all the indigenous Australians drinking in the white man's pubs and reintroduce the white Australian policy etc etc

ReplyDeleteMarriage Act 1961 states, "marriage is the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others voluntarily entered for life".
ReplyDeleteSo they can overlook the "for life", the "exclusion of all others", but not the "man & a woman". hmm.
Call me cynical, but I think it has something more to do with tax deductions, superannuation & social security than family values.
exactly, which is even more reason to check out my poll!
