Australian Protectionist Party National Chairman Mr. Andrew Phillips today condemned the waste of taxpayers' funds on the promotion of the "homosexual lifestyle".

"The citizens of New South Wales should be outraged that their government continues to pump in taxes to the tune of $30 million a year at a time when funding should be going into hospitals, education and transport" Mr. Phillips said.

The Australian Protectionist Party firmly supports the foundation of our society, the family unit, and believes all Australian public money should be directed to protecting families and creating a country which nurtures their development, enabling Australians to reach their full potential- not for promoting unnatural behaviour and celebrating perversion.

"The claims that tourism will be increased by this ridiculous event should be enough to raise concern in itself" Mr. Phillips continued "The World Health Organisation has warned that AIDS in on the increase, with over 10 million infected with the disease in Asia alone. Is this one of the net benefits we are expected to gain from this annual influx of tourism?"

"Australian governments should be held accountable for the contempt they show towards their constituents and our nation's traditional values. Rather than pandering to the whims of the homosexual lobby groups on issues such as adoption, superannuation, same sex unions, IVF and money to display their deviate behaviour on the streets of our cities, they should be funding roads, health, education and increasing the pension for those who actually contributed to building our nation."

"Perhaps those who support the so called "right" of homosexuals to adopt should take time to witness the behaviour displayed by those involved in this event and then consider whether these people really are fit to be involved in the lives of vulnerable and impressionable children" Mr. Phillips concluded.
