1- They're calling for Shariah family courts

2- No they shouldn't be permitted (or any other religious or alternate court)- we should have one court system.

Bugsey,
It may not be as canned as you think.

The submission has been put to the inquiry who will make recomendations to the government. The Minister is not the inquiry. then again the government may or may not adopt any of the recomendations.

Certainly the minister has put his vievpoint and we hope his views prevail, but we had better wait untill the inquiry is finalized and its recomendations made.

Lexi,
Irrespective of the legal position regarding equal rights. It appears that this has not stopped some muslim males from abusing their former wives under the guise of 'still married' under Islam. This is the problem when religous laws are held to be higher that our state laws. In Sharia a spouse cannot refuse the other sex.

I have sought further information regarding the report and will ask why it has not been tabled.

Hear here! Thank goodness for Australian commonsense. Now! since we all represent every working nation from all over the entire world, we can see what we don't wont here. The UK and US are fighting for what seems impractical to us, however on their lands..........we don't have there problems. Freedom of speech in Australia comes with a responsibility that we all know, cant be bargained with. If you want the best Country.....your in it! and that's worth saving at all costs.

This is a multicultural society, and how you love it like me, you will die to save it, if it means anything to you.

We have the Aboriginal people that have welcomed you all in some respects, but aren't they tolerant! We have good earthed people from all around the world here......and what Iam trying so hard to show...............The future is working right here, and I bet you didn't even know it:)

Its your Australia, I just live on it.

The rest is up to you.

The human animal...lol.....I didn't think so:)

All the best.

And Banjo has the currant story......

No the argument is whether I or anyone else should be forced to live under a legal system I disagree with. I've not submitted to it and refuse to do so (submission isn't the point and not an option). My family has shed blood and given plenty to make Australia what it is, and I see no reason to submit to anything of the sort. I'm always amused by this, next thing we'll be told it is un-Australian to remember ANZAC Day (as horrid Aussie soldiers killed poor innocent muslims, really?)...

Nope, I will not even bother to pretend that I will try and live under Sharia law, I've no interest in so doing. Be interested to see anyone make me, I'd have to be entitled to hide amongst civilians, to launch cowardly, sneaky raids... Then again, I'd have to look myself in the eye when shaving... I wonder... Is that why so many Muslims don't shave?

And just one more:) See! Law as I know it very well, No one body has absolute rights over an-other:) This will land you in court!..:) The earth belongs to all,( which is MY so-called religion ) which by religious laws....has absolutely No common ground, with all human life, and its abundance..........that in all...who can say......

I OWN with all.

Only god can say this.

Ok.....Lets say, god is on trial. ( and he/she is ) by the way:) So! Just to cut it short, your arguing with your own brains and this can not be true because some-one said. Ok! someone might be the convoy of past thought, well....members of the jury, where and what is, when it comes to 1000,000,000,000000000000 of a place, where a cell, from not this understanding, and why....if all is miss-understood....how can man reach a conclusion, and why with full evidence.........your....in my eyes......Nothing but a bunch of morons"_)

Whats to days date?

LOL.....Look. Some people are evolved....and some people are not:)

Please.....pick a side.

or go round in circles.

Its your world.
