"The NSW Department of Education is currently developing an updated anti-bullying strategy that will be a new resource available for teachers from the beginning of term three," NSW Education Minister Rob Stokes bravely announced in a statement he released while everyone was getting ready for a public holiday.

"Students who are struggling in our schools, for whatever reason, need support and will continue to receive it in NSW public schools… Bullying will never be accepted in NSW public schools whether it be because someone is overweight, gay, based on the colour of their skin or for any other reason."

And that's the most important thing, according to all those people who wisely and empathetically argue "b-b-but we should be doing something about all bullying, not just the huge amount connected with sexuality and gender identity!"

That's why our governments absolutely never focus on road safety campaigns, instead making clear that all accidents are equally important and that trying to save lives on the road through anti-speeding initiatives would shamefully ignore the amount of crockery irretrievably cracked by people picking it up with soapy hands. #allaccidentsmatter!

Sure, only last year we had the heartbreaking sight of the mother of Tyrone Unsworth blaming homophobic schoolyard bullying for her gay son taking his own life, but as the old saying goes, you can't make an omelette without tacitly encouraging the open vilification of LGBTIQ kids at the most vulnerable time in their lives.
