SAFE SCHOOLS, ROZ WARD, AND THE ANDREWS GOVERNMENT

As far as can be ascertained, the episode at La Trobe University with the sacking of Roz Ward in connection with some story connected with the Australian flag, the enormous outcry from the community, and her reinstatement by the university, seems not to be the reason for the Andrews government to sever the employment of Roz Ward of the Safe Schools programme.

If the La Trobe affair is not connected to the ending of the employment of her by the Andrews government, what then is the actual reason, and why does the Victorian government not share this information with us?

Roz Ward has done enormous service to the community by producing the Safe Schools report. The federal government with all its mock-religious fanatics and reactionary right-wing politicians, got rid of the Safe Schools programme because the loonies said it would be a programme to ensnare young people into becoming gays, lesbians, transgenders and all other sexualities in the community.

Apart from the fact that we are still getting such arrant nonsense in 2016, we still need an explanation, after the assertion by the Victorian Andrews government that they would take over the Safe Schools programme, as to why Roz Ward is now persona non grata and had to be dismissed.

There are certain aspect of the Andrews government which also defies understanding and for which we do not get adequate explanations.
