" Introducing the report, the Hon Michael Kirby AC CMG
former justice of the High Court of Australia, described the
broad-based exemptions in anti-discrimination laws as -
"neither principled nor just" and said the direction the
report took to reforms was "basically simple."

" There is increasing understanding and broad acceptance in
Australia, that the past overly broad religious exemptions go
beyond what is essential and sometimes diminishes the
enjoyment of the dignity and rights of others," he said.

Not before time, the Executive Council of Australian Jewry has lodged a vilification complaint with the AHRC (good luck with that government sham) against Islamic hate-preachers.

Given the legislation available to Albanese to deal with hate speech and support for terrorism, it is a disgrace that a group or individuals have to do this at their own expense.

Rule of law seems to have gone out the door in Albanese Australia.

The useless, politicised police bleat that there's ‘nothing that they can do about it’; but, what about the equally useless Attorney General, and Albanese himself (on $560,000 plus perks to do the job).

BTW. The junk reference given by this anti-Christian fanatic is an extremist site for alphabet people and extremist deviants: the sort of rubbish that would obviously want Christian beliefs crushed. Anyone wanting to look at it should be aware that even Google describes the site as “unsafe”.

This thread represents everything that is rotten in Australia. We can't individually do much about the lunatics spreading the rot, but we can try to get a better sort of political class with careful, thoughtful voting. We will not find them among Green Labor or the Liberals.

Dear Foxy,

«Discrimination is endemic in religious schools and
organisations around Australia»

This is good news: Discrimination ('Viveka' in Sanskrit) is the quality of telling right from wrong and truth from untruth - would you rather expect religious schools to be dumb and dull (a fit description for government schools)?

«"These organisations rely on billions of dollars of public
funding but are not required to comply with the same laws when
it comes to employment, education, and service delivery as other
organisations."»

Indeed, shame on them.
Haven't they read the Bible, "Thou Shalt Not Steal"?

Nobody should rely on tax-payer funding, but nobody should have to comply with the government's laws either, especially those who adhere to a Higher law.

«publishing so little information about LGBTQ
and inclusion»

Wait, these are two totally different things, so why are they mentioned in the same breath?

Inclusion: A Catholic school would surely teach inclusion because that is part of Jesus' teachings, don't they teach the Bible?

LGBTQ: Schools are meant for study, not for political activism and provocations.

"... a ground-breaking report by Equality Australia has found...."

This is how Equality Australia says of itself....
"Equality Australia is a national organisation dedicated to equality for LGBTIQ+ people.

We combine legal, policy and campaigning expertise with thousands of supporters to ensure LGBTIQ+ people are treated with dignity and respect."

So an organisation founded by and run for the alphabet community issues a report that favours the alphabet community. Wow...very persuasive (he said with tongue firmly in cheek).

And the report is introduced by Michael Kirby..."Kirby has been openly gay since around 1984. "

Even more persuasive....(change cheek).

Equality Australia is Australia's first national LGBTQ
legal advocacy. The Human Rights Law Centre supported
its establishment to continue the unfinished
business of achieving equality for LGBTQ people.

The link given was to show another perspective in this
discussion and hopefully add to the debate.

As for the Hon Michael Kirby AC CMG?
He was a former justice of the High Court of Australia.
And is more than qualified to speak on Australian laws.

"The link given was to show another perspective in this
discussion and hopefully add to the debate."

But its not an impartial perspective, is it? The statistics in the report are utterly unsupported and in any case are reflective only of the attitudes of the alphabet community.

"He was a former justice of the High Court of Australia.
And is more than qualified to speak on Australian laws."

But he's not impartial is he?
