'Family' First?

Sex Party refuses to share bed with Family First

Christians around the nation are in a state of shock after reports have come to light that Senator Steve Fielding's office of the Family First Party has allegedly been courting a former political adversary that advocates prostitution, hardcore pornography, euthanasia, full-term abortion and homosexual marriage.

Family First sought to do a back-room preference deal with the Australian Sex Party, but the latter turned them down citing irreconcilable differences. The news has shocked many Christian supporters within Family First, believing the party to be founded on family friendly Judeo-Christian beliefs.

Whilst Family First deny being a 'Christian' party,  they nonetheless expend significant energy courting support from the Christian Church in Australia. The party now risks losing much of that support.

When approached for comment, the leader of the Christian Democratic expressed disappointment.

"Look I don't want to get into what Family First should and shouldn't be doing. But I will say this, the reports I'm getting are very concerning. It begs the question, what 'family' are they putting first?" asked Rev Fred Nile.

"It pains me to see such compromise in this nation. Christians are called to be salt and light, to fight wrong not accommodate it! Right now, I feel for the many dedicated Christians who have made sacrifices to help 'Family First'.

"I can only encourage them with the knowledge that the party to which I belong, the Christian Democratic Party, the only overtly Christian party in Australia, will NOT compromise Christian belief for secular political correctness or expediency. As it states in Ephesians 6:13 'stand against the evil of the day, and having done all ..STAND!'

"I encourage all Christians to stand with us", stated Rev Fred Nile.
