On his first week back in the NSW Parliament, long-time homophobe Christian Democrat Fred Nile has tried to take a stand against adoption by same-sex couples.
Legislation which gave same-sex couples in New South Wales the right to apply to adopt children passed with a slim majority last September, and is now a law which Nile (pictured) is keen to roll back.
He requested yesterday “that leave be given to bring in a bill for an Act to amend the Adoption Act 2000 to repeal the amendments made by the Adoption Amendment (Same Sex Couples) Act 2010 that enable couples of the same sex to adopt children.”
He also sought to outlaw prostitution and raise the drinking age to 21, among other staunchly conservative reforms.
