Furious dad LOSES IT as Australian workplaces are told to stop using the words FATHER and MOTHER: 'Stop spending our money on this crap'

An angry dad has unleashed at workplace advice to stop using the word ‘father’ and ‘mother’ in a bid to be more inclusive.

Sydney-based queer health organisation ACON, which is primarily funded by the NSW Government and also receives money from the ABC, advised workplaces to abandon the terms to promote LGBTQ inclusion.  

The lobby group has suggested the words ‘mother’ and ‘father’ be replaced with ‘primary caregiver’ and ‘secondary caregiver’.

In a training video, HR staff were told to avoid using gendered terms when writing office policies to make sure gender norms are not reinforced.

‘When we continue to use terms that buy into that, such as ‘maternity leave’, ‘paternity leave’, ‘mother’, ‘dads’, all of these terms, that’s reinforcing those gender norms,’ the video states.

‘So using terms like ‘primary caregivers’, ‘secondary caregiver’, making sure we’re not referring to partners using gender terms like ‘mother’, like ‘dad’, is really important.’

Radio 2GB host Ben Fordham, who is also a father, slammed the initiative as a ‘crack pot idea’ being pushed by an organisation with an ‘official relationship with the ABC’.

‘This is a group that doesn’t want anyone saying ‘mothers’ or ‘fathers’. If you’re taking advice from this mob, you need a check up,’ Fordham wrote on Facebook.

ACON, which stands for AIDS Council of NSW, receives $13million in government funding every year and $4million from organisations who sign up as members.

‘Pay them out of your own pocket. Because we don’t consent to our money being spent on this crap.’

Listeners were quick to share their opinions in the comments.

‘I am a Mother, a Grandmother and I will be dammed if I will be identified as anything other than that. I am a woman and proud of it,’ one woman wrote.  

‘It’s diminishing my much treasured role as a mother and I will not bow to this insanity,’ a second agreed.

‘It’s time to ban lobby groups and the funding to ABC – they do not represent all Australians so all Australians should not be paying for them,’ a third commented.
