The religious freedom Trojan horse : Comments

By Augusto Zimmermann, published 7/8/2019

There is a considerable risk that the Morrison government might be contemplating the enactment of discrimination laws that could ban so-called 'hate speech' on the basis of severe criticism of religion.

From what I recall, the push for religious freedom is to give religious institutions the freedom to express their religious values without being dragged to court.

A recent example of this was where the church in Tasmania was prosecuted for hate speech for opposing same sex marriage.

I don't believe anyone has proposed that "blasphemy" laws are about to be instituted.
