An Australian Christian school has withdrawn its contract containing a declaration of faith on gender and sexuality amid two government probes and fierce criticism from the community and politicians, including the prime minister.

Citipointe Christian College, in Brisbane, had sent a contract to parents last Friday which stated “the college will only enrol the student on the basis of the gender that corresponds to their biological sex” and that sexual immorality, such as homosexuality, bestiality, incest and paedophilia, was “sinful.”
