Jeff Kennett, the man who rebuilt the State of Victoria, and has drawn national attention to the issue of depression with his chairmanship of Beyond Blue, is backpedaling better than any politician I can think of. This backpedaling is due to his comments regarding the 'best' parents for a mentally healthy child are those of different sexes. The CEO of Beyond Blue resigned the same day that she outlined the comments made by Kennett in his opinion piece where his own and not shared by the organisation.
I only have one thing to say to Mr Kennett. Where are your facts for such an incredibly negative thing to say to the community most affected by the affects of depression due to negativity and abuse?
Sure, say what you will about same sex parents, but when you have a position like yours, make sure you have the facts to back it up.... after all not quoting any scientific research may just mean that you are speaking shit and have no basis for such prejudice.
