Thanks for the note on my talk page. I had been looking at the ABC citation after the statement, not the SMH one before it. (The ABC had the curious phrase decrying a link between "non-traditional" families and higher levels of "criminality among boys and promiscuity among girls" - which sounds like he was rejecting a link between the two.) Anyway, "railed against non-traditional families" is the SMH's phrase, and we need to be careful the way we phrase it. I can't think of a particularly neutral phrase off-hand, perhaps "linked non-traditional families to criminality among boys and promiscuity among girls", but that's quite a mouthful.

So maybe we need to frame it positively: "Bernardi believes in the primacy of the traditional family model". I'm guessing that's one of his Five Pillars. But I'd be happy with "Bernardi believes in the primacy of the traditional family model, and has claimed that non-traditional families may cause negative social outcomes."

(Yes, the preferred method is to indent.) Are you sure that his comments were mostly of a negative nature? Have you read the book, then? StAnselm (talk) 04:51, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
