Would be interesting to see if churches or similar religious groups are big financial donors to the Coalition.
Why is Abbott so wedded to his Chaplaincy program? Surely in a secular country forcing schools to only higher a religious chaplain is not sound policy. Why force schools to sack qualified counsellors?
2 High Court judgements against the program yet Abbott is still determined to have his way. Seems his pig headedness is at PPL levels.
How do you argue that the budget is at emergency levels yet you can throw $250M for school chaplains who are unlikely to have the same level of qualifications as the many counsellors they'll be supplanting?
A PM basing policy on political ideology is one thing, but religious ideology shouldn't have any place when determining how tax payer funds are spent!
).... That position is contrary to the Coalition's boast that "Australia is open for business". .
this is where we all misinterpreted the govt's announcement. The whole statement was "Australia is open for business to cease pesky mercantile industrialisation and return us to our true destiny of the poor white trash of Asia". They can take our freedoms, they can starve us of intelligence and learning, but they can never take our Hills Hoist and Rotary Mower !!!
Thankyou Sir Rumpole.
I'm sure there are those who may have trouble adapting to the non binary arguments we are prone to, but I think we owe to the world as a whole to stand up for the clandestine analogues who hide in the shadows. With perseverance we may live to bathe in the sunshine on our skin and see our reflections in a mirror. Until then we must take our victims surreptitiously ....
See you at the next Fabian Society meeting
Where, when and what time Rumpy?
Unfortunately poor old Gough has had to put in an apology due to his dementia but you will see Julia, Chris, Jenny and all the greenies....they would not miss a meeting for quids.
I'm sure they will be glad to see you matey
A lot of whinging going on here, a voice from the other side, I agree with Tony.
Good on him.
Rumpy, I would love to go so please tell me where, when and what time?
Could you possibly send me an agenda?....I would be most interested in their discussion.
How do become a member and what qualifications would I need?
Is there a joining fee and how much?
You know what, Syd, I get sick and tired of you lefties whinging and howling.
Yes, I agree with it, rant on....
Chaplains are non-judgmental, non-coercive and support all students regardless of the student's issues or worldview."
That is fine, I said I agreed with it, and I am entitled to my view.
A spokesperson for the National School Chaplaincy Association welcomed the government's decision.
"Chaplaincy makes a positive difference in the lives of students and is widely considered the best model of holistic care and welfare, as it provides emotional, social and spiritual support," the spokesperson said.
"While we acknowledge the public opinions of some who are opposed to chaplaincy, much of this is based on misinformation. Chaplains are non-judgmental, non-coercive and support all students regardless of the student's issues or worldview."
Overhang, from what I have been told, the counsellors are still there, they work together.
I think there is a lot of misinformation being spread.
It has nothing to do with religion.
