Abbott’s Long Battle Against Gay Rights
With former Prime Minister Tony Abbott being appointed as the President of the UK Board Of Trade in recent weeks questions have been raised about his suitability for the role, particularly in regards to questions around homophobia.In light of these questions an interesting document from the past has surfaced in Sydney. The document which appears to show Abbott was registered for the 2nd National Homosexual Conference at Sydney University in August 1976 has surfaced among the papers left behind by a gay activist.The registration form was found in the papers left behind by Lex Watson, gay rights activist and foundation member of the Campaign Against Moral Persecution (CAMP), who passed away in 2014.
