#FUNFACT
A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, I BLOGGED A VIDEO FROM NEWTOWN HIGH YR.9 KIDS. I PUT A CAPTION UNDER IT ABOUT P.M. TONY ABBOTT WHO IGNORED A GIRL'S QUESTION ON GAY MARRIAGE BY DISMISSIVELY SAYING, "LET'S HAVE A BLOKE'S QUESTION!" I ALSO PUT OUT A TWEET HIGHLIGHTING TONY'S TERRIBLE GAFFE. THIS WAS PICKED UP BY A NEWSPAPER AND TODAY IT HAS COME FULL CIRCLE WITH THE KIDS FROM NEWTOWN HIGH MARCHING WITH THEIR OWN PROTEST BANNER ABOUT ABBOTT'S DISMISSIVE TREATMENT OF THEIR LEGITIMATE QUESTION.
MarianSmedley: "@sallymcmanus: Year 9 Newtown High! #marchinmarch" Yes - hope for the future. Good work Newtown High
