No pooftas, Dutton tells CEOs:
Australia’s most senior conservative politician has lambasted a campaign by the chief executives of 30 of the nation’s largest companies for the “near-term” legalisation of same-sex marriage, saying they should focus on running their own businesses instead of jamming “politically correct views down our throats”.
Immigration minister Peter Dutton was scathing in his response to a co-ordinated attempt by the chief executives of Telstra, Qantas, Holden, Commonwealth Bank, ANZ and others to force Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to pass laws legalising same-sex marriage, prompting Liberal defector Cory Bernardi to describe him as Australia’s “emerging leader”.
“If people want to enter politics, then do that, but don’t do it from the office overlooking the harbour on multi-million dollar fees each year. I just think its high time these people pulled back from these moralistic stances and we’d be a better society without them,” Mr Dutton told Radio 2GB.
