THE Australian Press Council has considered complaints from Jim Culbertson and Simon Berry about an opinion article, “Priority is to protect marriage” in the Herald Sun, Melbourne, on January 25, 2012.
It was written by former tennis champion Margaret Court who was also identified as “a pastor”.
Mrs Court argued that Australian society was losing touch with fundamental Christian values and on a steep moral decline, especially in relation to sexuality.
