It seems that in certain cases ideas are seemingly advocated to be torn down for the very reason that they are successful over a long period of time.

There is no such thing as unlimited freedom to do
whatever you want. Within a liberal democratic
society like Australia each person's rights are
always balanced against the rights of others and
the community in general.

All over the world people face inequality,
discrimination, injustice, and cruelty, because of
who they are.

The government is trying to support human rights so
all Australians are treated equally and justly
within the law. Hence the Australian Law Reform
Commission report and recommendations.

The ALRC recommendations don't necessarily become
law. However, over 85% of ALRC reports have been either
substantially or partially implemented making the ALRC
one of the most effective and influential agents for
legal reform in Australia.

We have to wait and see what happens next and what parliament
decides. The PM has made it clear that unless the Coalition
supports the recommendations he will not proceed with the
legislation.

Dear Foxy,

«There is no such thing as unlimited freedom to do
whatever you want.»

By rising from the dead, Jesus proved that no human action can stop us in God's service - neither legislation nor persecution, torture and execution can affect God's servants.

«All over the world people face inequality,
discrimination, injustice, and cruelty, because of
who they are.»

God's people never cause any injustice.

«The government is trying to support human rights so
all Australians are treated equally and justly
within the law.»

Absolute justice is already being carried out by God, without fail.
What fools think that they can duplicate His work and do things better?!

There remains widespread agreement in the Australian
community about the values that school education should
promote. All children have the right to a high quality
school education.

Organisations must be accountable for the public funds
they receive and the large increase in government funding
for private schools prompts the question of whether these
schools are sufficiently accountable and are they committed
to the public values that all schools are expected to uphold?

While the private school sector, in all of its diversity
promotes some of these public values, some of the time,
Many private schools fail to uphold them.

I hesitate in making sweeping judgements about religious
schools. The only thing that is bad for a child's education
is narrow-mindedness and institutionalised ignorance, both of
which can be found in religious and non-religious schools
about the same measure.

We need to remember that the single most influential educator
in a child's life is their parent. If the parent is
narrow-minded and ignorant that will be the worst for the
child's education.

Picking good schools takes research and an open mind.
