Education

My question is for the Attorney-General. Secularist attacks upon Christianity inundate. Nativity scenes are gone. Stars are removed from Christmas trees. Now the Queensland government eradicates Christian moral teachings from schoolyards. Can we be assured that the replacement won't be humanism—to quote Lenin, 'communism's father and mother'? Stalin and Mao, 72 million dead; Charles Darwin; Adolf Hitler's master race, 26 million dead—and education in Australia tells of Pax Romana replacing Roman tyranny. The Magna Carta, the abolition of slavery, the collapse of communism and history's six greatest scientists—all of this from the carpenter preacher from Nazareth?

If members can cease interjecting, please, I'll just point out to the member for Kennedy that the Attorney-General is not in the House, but the Minister representing the Attorney-General is obviously happy to address the wide range of remarks in the member for Kennedy's question. And he only has three minutes.
