Victorian public service servants offered counselling over same-sex marriage survey results

VICTORIAN public servants will be offered counselling and a “supported space” when the results of the marriage equality survey are released this week.

Two “specialist LGBTI counsellors” will be on hand for the bureaucrats as the winning vote is revealed on Wednesday morning.

A Department of Premier and Cabinet spokeswoman said the announcement would be “particularly challenging” for some public service staff.  ::)

They were offered counselling in an email sent last week.

“The marriage equality debate has been held over a prolonged period and is having a substantial impact on some VPS staff,” the spokeswoman said.  ::)

“On the day of the survey results announcement, arrangements have been made for two existing specialist LGBTI counsellors to be on site at a supported space for all VPS staff.”  ::)

The Herald Sun understands that the counsellors work for the government’s “employee assistance program” — a full-time service to help staff deal with stress, anxiety, depression or trauma.  ::)

The program also has counsellors trained on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex issues.  ::)

It comes after the Department of Premier and Cabinet released its LGBTI inclusion plan earlier this year.

The plan revealed that the department had an LGBTI Network, “ally” events and “LGBTI 101” as part of its diversity training.  ::)

“Attitudes and ideas that might be adverse to LGBTI inclusion can be the result of conscious and unconscious behaviours,” the plan said.  ::)

“It is our responsibility to challenge these ideas and work towards promoting inclusion

for all employees. Simple actions can result in meaningful change.”

But opposition spokesman Tim Smith hit out at the government for funding the LGBTI counsellors to be on standby as the result of the vote is released.  [smiley=thumbup.gif]

“This money should be used to pay for counselling for victims of the crime tsunami under Daniel Andrews not for those who have simply taken part in a democratic process,” he said.


fair dinkum.... could this Labor Government be any more retarded in pandering to soft corks over something that hasn't even happened....

and if they want to go have a little cry or a pity party with their queer mates then do it in your own time using your OWN money... ffs...  >:(

How does it feel to have the two major Parties: ALP & NLP both incompetent since P.Keating over-achieved and stuffed everything up for others to follow in his footsteps?

No wonder the Independents are growing in numbers.

'safe spaces' in case they need to Wallow In Self Pity (WISP).... Cry Stallmighty.... what's next?  Armoured rooms in case they feel put upon by being faggots and such?  I thought those whining pricks were 'oppressed' yet they get the sweet ride in a PS job.... some farkan oppression there...

Ban Affirmative Action.

BTW - when I worked for the CPS, one guy was gay and he was a gentleman and highly respected for his intelligence etc.... he had no 'need' of a 'safe space'.

Oh my goodness.

What next?

Councelling when the water cooler runs out of water?

Or perhaps if a building is built next door and they have lost their daily activity ao looking out the window?

What a crock, the Public Serve Us have totally lost the plot.

What a ridiculous and abhorrent waste of taxpayer money!

It's beyond pathetic and disgraceful!

Meantime their hospitals are being starved of funding!

The writing is on the wall people.

If thevyes vote was coming in
There woukd be no need for councelling as we all know
NORMALS DONT NEED ANY COUNCELLING.

But if the no vote gets in
All the pooftahs and dykes and whatever all the other strange groups are called
WILL NEED COUNCELLING BECAUSE THE WORLD IS SUCH A NASTY HORRIBLE PLACE TO THEM.

I think, we will find that a big fat NO is coming and all those weird public serve us (workers?) Will get all their knickers and other unusual apparel in tight knots as a result.

Poor didums

"Homophobes should consider a little self-reflection, suggests a new study finding those individuals who are most hostile toward gays and hold strong anti-gay views may themselves have same-sex desires, albeit undercover ones."

Homophobes Might Be Hidden Homosexuals
