"7) The report notes that many religious schools in Australia
already have inclusive enrolment and employment policies and
they don't want to discriminate against either students or
teachers on any grounds."

At what point does the need to comply to laws taint the religious message itself?
And if the religious message is tainted, then is it really a religious school, or just another government run institution?

At what point does the requirement to not offend gay students and teachers inhibit the religious school from giving the religious education?

One might argue that religious schools should not get funding if the do not adhere to discrimination laws, yes?
But should a student at a religious school be deprived of all funding that would otherwise be given to them if they were not attending a religious school?
- So no money for young Isaac, Ishmael or Matthew to learn english and maths?
And if religious schools did not get government funding, would that mean they would then BE permitted to discriminate, and would Australians support this or consider it lawful, if Islamic kids were permitted to be taught to hate infidels?
And that Jews are permitted to be taught that they will rule over Goyim?
And that Christians give blind support to Israel, and march towards Armageddon?

Should we not have a serious look at the pro's and con's of religions themselves?
Ethics allows us to compare religions against each other or no religion at all.

Dear Banjo,

The Australian Law Reform Commission recommends amending
laws so that religious schools are subject to the same
rules as all other educational service providers (including
public schools).

However at the same time the Commission recommends that
religious schools should still be able to " build a
community of faith" by giving preference when hiring
to teachers who share the school's religion, providing
they don't breach other workplace laws.

We need to keep in mind that the Australian Law Reform
Commission, although it is made up of some of the
sharpest legal minds in Australia, it cannot change the
law itself. Only federal parliament can do that.

And unless these recommendations pass into legislation by
Parliament the debate around religious discrimination and
schools in this country will continue for some time yet.

If the recommendations of the Australian Law Reform
Commission are passed in parliament and become laws
not much would really change for most schools. And
for some schools in some places like Victoria this
change would simply align with state and federal laws.

However, these changes may make a difference to some
people's lives. For example schools would not be able
to deny enrolment to trans students. They could not expel
a child for having gay parents. They could not refuse
to hire teachers on the basis of their sex, sexual
orientation, gender identity, or marital status.

Albanese would probably like this piece of woke, race-obsessed, rubbish from the UK:

“The Diocese of Birmingham is advertising for the role of ‘Anti-Racism Practice Officer (Deconstructing Whiteness)’ to work in a ‘racial justice’ team across churches in the West Midlands ….”.

Even the woke Archbishop, Justin Welby, rang them up to ask WTF?

It’s all to please the GMH [global majority heritage] and UKME [UK minority ethnic] backgrounds, who are likely to be non-Christians.

Surely this officer's job would cover all religions,
including Jewish, Islamic, and others. Not only
Christians? BTW: not all Christians are white.
And just like the monarch represents all citizens
in the UK. This particular officer would surely represent
all religions in the UK to limit discrimination and racism.

Just saying.

Anyone remember the crackpot Australian Green’s, Christine Milne, who has been ranting about the “extreme right wing religious views embedded in politics”, just because the Church and State conference is being held in Hobart in April.

Not surprisingly, the neo-Communist Greens regard Christianity as extreme right wing, sitting as they do at the other extreme. There's no doubt that they will barracking for Albanese's assault on Christianity (Islam and other non-Western religions are OK with the Leftist, atheists and anti-Judeo/Christians, and Western morality in general - all the things responsible for everything that they have in life.

And, more shock and horror for Milne: Christian Conservative, Eric Abetz, has been elected to the Tasmanian Parliament.
