Cripes, the compass has gone completely out the window, from the Canberra Times:

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has ordered a review into a controversial school education program aimed at promoting acceptance of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (LGBTI) students.

The Safe Schools teaching manual, introduced by the previous Labor government, has been attacked in recent weeks by conservative politicians, the Australian Christian Lobby and News Corp newspapers.

An independent review will provide advice by March to Education Minister Simon Birmingham, who has previously strongly defended the program’s aims.

Dude’s gone barmy.
