When the government endorses bigotry.

Scott Morrison supports the ACL

 You will remember Scott Morrison from when he was immigration minister.

He was asked in an ABC interview:

" Three days ago an Indian student took his own life at a detention centre in Melbourne. He was in that centre because he overstayed his visa. Could that have been avoided?"

Scott Morrison smugly answered:

" Could he have avoided overstaying his visa?"

The ACL (Australian "christian" lobby) is a hate group that is for bullying children and against LGBT rights. They are a group of lying, bigoted, hypocritical, anti- constitutional, homophobes.

Scott Morrison attended and spoke at the ACL's annual hate group meeting, despite the fact he is Australia's current treasurer.

Scott Morrison has defended his endorsement at this hate rally by saying:

 "I respect everybody's opinions, I just hope and wish others would do the same,"

 Which is ironic considering he was speaking at the ACL hate group who are against equal rights, children and the Australian constitution.

One of the views he respects is the claim (by Eric Metaxas) that the recognizing of  equal rights is somehow like the rise of the Nazis in Germany. As you will be aware comments like that are extremely offensive as it was the Nazis who were homophobic. With the Nazis persecuting over 50,000 gay people during the Holocaust. For the ACL to associate such victims with their Nazis oppressors is disgusting and an opinion that should not ever be respected.

 To the best of my knowledge Scott Morrison has not been charged, he has not even been disciplined by the Prime Minister. He was promoted to the Treasurer of the Australian government after his behavior as immigration minister, one can only hope that common sense prevails and the PM at least distances himself and his party from this homophobia and bigotry.
