Bible Banned in Australian Hospitals

The Australian reports that Victoria hospitals have banned Bibles for the usual multi-culti reasons (e.g., not wanting to offend ROP):

BIBLES have been banned in Victorian hospitals and some schools out of concern of offending non-Christians.

Almost all Melbourne's main hospitals have withdrawn Bibles and several schools no longer hand out free Bibles.

Royal Melbourne spokesman Rod Jackson-Smith said the Bible was not banned, but said: "We don't (have Bibles in each room) any more."

"Because we have so many people from different religious backgrounds it is considered inappropriate. It is also an infection control measure."
Infection control measure?!? What in the -- I think Hillary has found her White House Press Secretary.
