Squeers,

I expected someone to miss the point of my posting. I did not express an opinion one way or the other on any of the matters I mentioned. I gave some factual information.

Chris C,
Sorry for presuming you were making a point; I didn't realise you were disinterestedly tabulating data/trivia.

Religion has no place in the life of children. They can make up their much more enlightened minds when they reach adulthood.
Religion must be forced back to the confinement of the home.

Come come Graham Young, of course it is not 'immaterial' what the plaintiff pleaded.

He won on what his legal team said he might win on, and not on what all the SLABs want to think his team was running the case on.

Talk about spin! Sounds like a twintub.

As for watching the 7.30 Report, hmm, are you aware of the editing suite? You know, stitching together snippets to show what the ditor thinks is wanted?

Besides, the decision last week did erect a wall of separation between the dollars and the chaplains.

That the entire parliament now is being directed by a small cabal of Christian lobbyists to tear that wall down again is another matter.

As for the future, the decision did contain warnings about going down the legislative route, for fear of a further challenge.

And it did not give a tick of approval as you suggest.

Hda a parent from a faith school with standing sought to challenge, the DOGS decision would have kicked in.

Squeers,

Not sure what your point is in response to my comment. It seems the state is legislating because there are a number of other projects threatened by the High Court decision. The state is legislating otherwise funding for these other projects is jeopardised. Your last sentence is a mystery: "The people's will is compromised; that is to say liberated, at least in the long run".

Squeers,

Given the frequent confusion over what is and is not, I don’t think it is trivia to point out the factual situation in Victoria re chaplains and religious education or re the kick-off point for political anger over chaplains in schools.
