A bishop has intervened to overturn a Catholic primary school's decision to refuse to enrol a lesbian couple's daughter.
The couple, who do not want to be identified, had tried to enrol their child at Sacred Heart Primary School at Broken Hill in far western New South Wales.
They say the principal told them their relationship was the reason the application had been turned down.
The acting bishop for the Wilcannia-Forbes diocese, Kevin Manning, says he is appalled by that decision.
"There's no way in the world one can penalise a child for what his or her parents do," he said.
"To penalise a five year old child because her parents are living in a homosexual relationship is just quite wrong and I've been in touch with both the school principal and also the parish priests."

Unfortunately, the bishop responsible for the change isn't clearly identified in the story.
15% percent of the funding of a school doesn't "buy" you the right to inflict your own personal or religious bigotry onto others. And if you think that whole concept of "buying" an opportunity to discriminate is abhorrent in the first place, you're not alone.
