"The school formal is meant to be a formal dance between a young man and a young woman, not a young man and a young man,"
"We love all our [gay] students as we do all people in our churches but their lifestyle is not encouraged, particularly if it was a promiscuous lifestyle. We are dealing with young people here.

State Plan is Out
Submitted by Penny Sharpe on Mon, 20/11/2006 - 5:00pm.
The State Plan was released last week. It sets out very explicitly the goals, priorities and targets for the Iemma Labor Government.
The elements of the plan that I am particularly pleased with are:
- the commitment to strengthen vocational education and training for young people
- the targets for improved health and educational outcomes for indigenous people
- targets to continue to improve numeracy and literacy
- continued focus on the improvement of public transport
Update on the State Plan
Submitted by Penny Sharpe on Wed, 13/09/2006 - 4:00pm.
Posted Wednesday 13 September 06
I recently attended a briefing about the development of the state plan. I support an approach that sets out what the government's commitments in a way that is clear and measurable.
At this stage of development I would like to see a clearer focus on specific population groups, in particular women and indigenous people as well as an upfront commitment to social justice (including some more specific issues such as homelessness).
Premier's department have developed an e newsletter that outlines the process so far.
10 Year Plan for NSW - Your input needed
Submitted by Penny Sharpe on Fri, 07/07/2006 - 4:00pm.
The Premier yesterday announced the development of a 10 year state plan for NSW.
The development of the plan gives everyone (individuals, organisations, communities and interest groups) the chance to have a discussion about the future direction and priorities for NSW.
This is an opportunity to discuss the very real social, economic and environmental challenges facing this state and try to find some common ground for the way we should move forward.
There will be direct community consultation and I am pleased to see that there is the opportunity for input via the website.
