New South Wales (NSW) Premier Chris Minns accused the Cumberland City Council on May 9 of using the gay community for political point-scoring over its decision to ban a book on same-sex parenting from its libraries.

Earlier this month, at its general meeting, the council voted by a small majority to remove same-sex parenting literature from the council’s library services.
