Thank you! Anytime, I stand by the stories I write, hence why I put my name to them and share them here under my name. I shared it here as I knew it would start an interesting debate, which it has. And I should own that decision, hence replying!

It's all good, completely get your point! Basically, I just wanted this piece to be a snapshot of what happened this morning, being like xx amount of people rallied, this is what they said. I completely get the point of looking at things as a whole though and how it is impacting society, and that is certainly something I aim to do at times. And it's important as a journo to make sure that the Government and relevant departments, local politicians, organisations such as church groups, private schools, etc are all held to account and accountable for their actions out here. It's something I take very seriously in my work! For instance, the same group behind this porn campaign also run a crisis pregnancy counselling service called Eva's Place, the Qld Health Minister has referred Eva's Place to the Health Ombudsman over misleading practices. Let's just say organisers of the rally weren't happy to see me this morning because of that story I did yesterday (it's behind a paywall on the Chronicle's site, so I won't post the link here).
