Bullying.


I read an article yesterday which said that people were bullying Christians and that the Prime Minister had promised them religious freedom legislation.

But this is backwards Orwellian Black/White.

It is Christians who are doing the bullying and who are persecuting gays and lesbians.

The contemporary fad of flipping an argument is confusing the public and meddling with the truth.

It misrepresents the situation and the support for extreme right-wing views.

And as such it is misinformation and fake news.

The readiness of the media to publish such articles is an indictment of their professionalism and their integrity.

The vast majority of Australians support gay and lesbian equality.

And the media should accept that and publish the truth.
