Wayne Butler on Justice Michael Kirby

Wayne Butler is showing his homophobic tendencies with this comment on Justice Michael Kirby and his request for a pension for his same sex partner upon his retirement.

Mr Butler the Executive Secretary of the Shared Parenting Council said

We must be very careful to ensure that the hard fought gains made in the last round of legislation will not be slowly eroded and soon you wont need a father, Dads will become simply a forgotten memory in the history books of future generations who will wonder about this unique status of parenthood that used to partake in the family environment.

We will be seeking instructions in this matter from our affiliate member groups and I have no doubt there will be some vigourous debate within our ranks weighing up the need to ensure a fair financial outcome for a same sex relationship versus the maintenace of the importance of fatherhood. This could well be the thin edge of the wedge and ceratinly the fatherhood movement will be seeking to ensure a strong position for dads in the family unit.
