What utter bullshit!

Found this this morning:

Church leaders give Abbott moral lessons

TONY Abbott, Australia's most prominent Catholic politician, is at war with the churches over their criticisms of the Coalition's industrial relations policy.

Church leaders have hit out at the Health Minister after he essentially told them to butt out of politics and stick to encouraging morality among their flocks.

Catholic social justice groups have expressed fears that the Government's WorkChoices legislation unfairly affects the vulnerable and cuts the time families can spend together.

The Age: Church leaders give Abbott moral lessons

Now I hear you asking yourself, why would this worry me? Well really it didn't, and I wasn't going to blog about it until I read the following from the same article:

But Mr Abbott this week denied there were moral problems with the IR laws saying, "a political argument is not transformed into a moral argument simply because it's delivered with an enormous dollop of sanctimony".

And you guessed it, I saw red, when I read that.

All this from the man who uses his "church going morality" to deny rights to gay citizens of this country. After all, isn't Tony Abbott the man who got on his sanctimonious, moral, high horse, and cried foul when the ACT managed to pass their civil union laws? Has Abbott not used his own version of morality to turn the political argument of female abortion rights into a moral one?

Bring on the bloody election, I so want to see the backs of these "moral" idiots.
