I disagree absolutely and completely with the Author's (risible rubbish) take in the article. Little wonder church attendances are falling and continue to do so, with less than 15% of Australians claiming to be Christian.

The man resigned of his own choice because he felt
he could not serve two masters - his club and his church
at the same time. He acted according to his own conscience
and everyone should respect the choice he made and not
make it political. If he felt his views conflicted with
those of the club he was to preside over - then he
did the right thing. In any case it was his choice to make.

I am not shocked at all. The Left is tolerant of everything and anyone except conservatism and Christians. Australia is in a very bad way because of the Left - and because of most conservatives who refuse to fight back. To win a fight, you have to turn up, unlike the current leader of the Opposition who didn’t attend the CPAC conference.

A few Christians still resist, but how much longer they will be able to do so - safely - is unknown.

The business of the ALF is sport, NOT woke politics.

"Australia has a long and proud tradition of respecting a diversity of points of view…".

NO! That was an Australia that no longer exists since the Left poisoned it

Here we go again, with this nonsense of "persecuted" Christians. They have the box seat in school funding, unlimited tax waivers, a huge slice of the outsourced welfare funding, and generous provisions to discriminate against women and minority groups, in their workplaces and their schools. Our head of state himself is the leader of the Anglicans.

When it's a religious workplace, they want one set of rules. When it's secular, another. If god schools can fire gay or trans teachers and kids, footy clubs should be able to fire vindictive Christian bigots.

1) The club did the wrong thing in rejecting Andrew.
2) The law should never forcibly prevent people from employing or not-employing someone, regardless whether their reasons (if any) are good or bad, reasonable or stupid. Employment ought to be a private matter between the sides involved alone.
3) The public should consider this club's poor choice when deciding whether or not to continue supporting it.
4) The above assumes that the club in question is indeed wholly private and receives no state support. If it does, then that changes the whole picture.

The man resigned. He was not fired.
He made the decision to leave.
Apparently he felt he could not support
a club that did not match his religious
convictions. Fair enough. His choice.
