"The school formal is meant to be a formal dance between a young man and a young woman, not a young man and a young man,"
"We love all our [gay] students as we do all people in our churches but their lifestyle is not encouraged, particularly if it was a promiscuous lifestyle. We are dealing with young people here.

Getting tough on tobacco
Submitted by Penny Sharpe on Tue, 22/04/2008 - 5:02pm.
The Iemma Government is proposing tough new anti-smoking measures aimed at protecting kids from the dangers of smoking.
We have released a discussion paper "Protecting Children from Tobacco" which proposes:
- A ban on smoking in cars with children;
- Moving tobacco products out of sight in retail outlets;
- A new licensing scheme for tobacco retailers, with deregistration for retailers caught selling to minors;
- Additional proof of age requirements for buying tobacco products;
- Restrictions on employees under 18 years of age selling tobacco products;
- Limiting tobacco to one point-of-sale in retail outlets;
- A ban on tobacco vending machines; and
- A ban on tobacco products in shopper loyalty programs.
Comments are open until 22 June 2008.
