Government MPs pushed on Tuesday for new mental health programs and named the $61.4 million-a-year chaplaincy scheme as a leading candidate for greater federal support | CroweDM

School chaplains would gain more federal funding to help young students through the pandemic under a proposal from Coalition MPs to extend what Prime Minister Scott Morrison called a signature government program.

since its introduction by the Howard government. An amended version continued under Labor, and it was redesigned again under Tony Abbott after two High Court challenges over the scope of the federal government’s executive and constitutional power to fund religious guidance. “The plea was to provide greater funding – he spoke about how this is a welcome program, particularly in state schools, but that we need to consider full funding for every school to have a chaplain,” said a Coalition spokesman who confirmed the debate but did not name the MPs involved.

He did not promise more funding or an extension of the scheme but said the suggestion from the backbench was “interesting”.

CroweDM Doctors do their best to make a mockery of metal health treatment. I was denied the treatment I been having for 50years because they didn't think it was important during a hospital stay. I am disgusted with them.

CroweDM How is this a good idea. Would you be happy allowing mostly unqualified chaplains to run amuck amongst children in schools under the guise of mental health. You don’t think they might try to teach them gods way? It has to be unlawful. ... surely.

CroweDM Stupid. Just open the cage and free the young. And they will thrive.

CroweDM I’ve met brilliant chaplains. Chaplains can’t talk about religion with kids (unless kid specifically asks them to), and provide caring support…helping prevent future problems & referring to other services those who need further intervention.

CroweDM Kids need trained counsellors and mental health professionals in schools.

CroweDM Here we go, get Pentecostal preachers into schools

CroweDM No more Godshit Crowbars levering their way into our kids heads. These MPs need to leave their god at the door when it comes to running our country.

CroweDM fart noise

CroweDM Noooo!

CroweDM Another announcment!

CroweDM NO NO NO. Nooooooooo

CroweDM So you are paying 61.4 million for kids to get molested. Goes along with your death and disaster policies. You lot will go down in history as the people who are responsible for thousands of innocent Aussies being killed. And you worry about bloody chaplains..

CroweDM Maybe they should wait for the census results before committing these funds

CroweDM Yeah, sure, what could go wrong extending pedophile central 🤔

CroweDM FUCK NO

CroweDM Just another way the Christian right wing of the Liberals have come up with to get the Churches & religion back into the class rooms. Just what children need, christian's take on how to cope with a Pandemic.

CroweDM if you really want to screw up a child's mind introduce some religion into it

CroweDM So this is like parachuting people like Malcolm Roberts but swap the pedos for politicians

CroweDM Let’s solve a probably imaginary issue with spreaders of belief in an imaginary being. Excellent!

CroweDM FFS

world_news_eng CroweDM Libs trying to cut the parents out of the equation and stick the foxes directly in the hen house.. Do not even think of trying that shit at my kids school..

CroweDM NSW ethics program for children who don't want religious education.

CroweDM No no no no no no no no no no Poorly trained young religious zealots are not appropriate. Just give the fucking money to schools to employ proper child psychs and trained counsellors. Religion has NO place here!

CroweDM That's it, send Morrison's fellow travellers into schools to tell students all about the end of days and the rapture, that's sure to ease their worried little minds.

CroweDM School counsellors yes, but not chaplains. It is wrong to force religion down kids throats when they're already beat down and vulnerable.

CroweDM Fuck off. We need less religion not more.

CroweDM This is just another electoral car park trough…clearly there is a need (has been way way before pandemic or climate debate) BUT make funds available to qual’d health care professionals..if a chaplain is qual’d, fine…if not, please don’t fund them to cause damage auspol

CroweDM

CroweDM What another total waste of Taxpayers money

CroweDM Peddling religion to the mentally ill is abuse.
