Conservative councillor Steve Christou made the admission as the NSW government accused the western Sydney council of breaking state-enforced library guidelines.
The western Sydney councillor behind a library ban on a children’s book about same-sex parents admits he hasn’t read it.
The book is listed as being for children aged six and older, but Christou said it was found in the toddler section of Merrylands Library. “I ask that council considers this resolution with haste, to ensure that the people of Cumberland continue to have access to collections which represent the diversity of the NSW community,” the letter said.
