Freedom from discrimination OK for progressives so why not for faith groups? : Comments

By Greg Bondar, published 10/1/2022

The Bill is the result of the 'miracle' election promise made in 2019 by Prime Minister Scott Morrison which he is now seeking to keep, albeit at the last-minute of his 3-year term.

Is this true? Are people really being "fired from their jobs" and "stripped of their qualifications" for religious reasons? Post Christian Australia is certainty hostile to Christianity and Judaism - less so to Islam, because the Islamic religion also hates Christians and Jews. But, losing jobs and qualifications? I would like to hear about some examples of that.

Leave it alone! We have enough laws and restrictions in this increasingly Nanny State of Australia already. As the author writes, Morrison has left it too late. He won't be king of the castle for much longer, and Labor certainly has no warm feelings towards Christianity. Christians (and others) have to take the Benedict option and lie low. We live in bad times, which will get a lot worse yet. In the meantime, there is a lot of exaggeration and BS circulating.

Australia is increasingly a hostile place for people of faith.

No, fanatic religious groups are trying to make it look like that to further their insidious agenda.

Although they and their Prime Minister love to play the victim, Christians are the most pampered minority group in Australia. They already have a raft of concessions and freebies, they certainly don't need any more.

If it becomes law, right-wing Christians will only use the bill to persecute non-believers, women, LGBTQ, assisted dying, and reproductive rights. These are the only "moral issues" they seem to care about
