Tony Abbott's intemperate remarks about the NRL's choice of half-time entertainment reveal the man's hypocrisy; freedom of speech apparently only applies to those with similar views.
I was also interested in his complaint that the NRL was "politicising" sport. I have always considered marriage equality to be a human rights issue rather than a political issue. I guess Abbott thinks that anything that doesn't conform to his extreme right wing Catholicism is an attack on his political fundamentals ... and that is sad; politics and religion shouldn't mix.
Tony Abbott probably didn't anticipate Frances Abbott's encouragement of Macklemore and he certainly didn't realise that his attempt to impose his reactionary values would make the offending song a best seller again :
I wonder how many other households have a similar generational difference of opinion?
