Tony Abbott’s Gay Sister Christine Forster Predicts Legalisation Of Marriage ‘Inevitable’

September 8, 2013

Tony Abbott’s sister, Christine Forster, says it is inevitable Australia will legalise gay marriage.

Campaigning for the Liberal Party in Surry Hills yesterday, Mr Abbott’s openly gay sister said it was only a question of time.

“It is a matter of time,” she said. “There’s not very many people under the age of 30 that it is not a no brainier for so at the very least it is going to be a generational change.”

Christine Forster, is in a long-term relationship with female partner Virginia Edwards.

“We are waiting until we can get married here, then we will do it,” she said, kissing her partner.

“Tony and I have a difference of opinion but he has also made it clear that it will be something that is up for discussion in the new party room. It is my fervent wish that the new party room raises it, debates it and hopefully the message to Tony is that they think it is a conscience issue and put it to a vote.”

Forster manned the Bourke Street School polling booth from 6am today, staying through until close at 6pm and handing out how to vote cards for Liberal candidate for Sydney Sean O’Connor.

“It is exciting,” she said. “It looks like perhaps the result might go our way. It has been a long campaign, it feels like that for me so I’d hate to think how it has been for Tony. I’ll be pleased to have it behind me.”

Forster said Australia would vote her brother into power on economical issues.

“Jobs and the economy, obviously asylum seekers has been big and carbon tax has been big, they are the things that are concerning Australians and they are the things that he has really come to the table with answers on,” she said.

“That is what he has offered the Australian people and hopefully they will elect him as a result.”

Forster will join her brother, their parents and his family at the Four Seasons Hotel tonight.

“I think he has earned a beer,” she laughed.
