Go for it David, I wish more Aussies had the back bone to stand up for this country and our Judeo Christian heritage.
We see migrants demonstrating their violence unchecked in our streets yet Christian pastors up on charges of racism.While I believe in freedom of religion, the freedoms I believe in must apply to all.
And all must obey Australian law.
Or we will find our good country will become a medievil backwater run by a theocracy like those the above migrants came from.

I was a proud labour girl when younger, we fought the fight and helped many get better hours, wages and work conditions. I became a democrat when Labour became Liberal spelt badly. I didnt stay with Democrats for more than a few months, and now I know why. What an absolute piece of dribble that survey you posted for us to review on was.
What do we teach children at school? How the hell do I know. I send my children to a school that teaches them the morals, values and principles that I want help to instill into their minds. Their religion is christian, but I am of the buddhist principle. They know this and incorporate it into their lives. I would like to think I have enough faith in my beliefs and the children have enough faith in their god not to fear hatred of their god or to fear death if it comes to them. Teaching children about a God they dont know, care for or like will make no impression on them. Teaching them about compassion, understanding what all religions are about, realising how people believe would give more control in how they view others, allowing our children to see all religions and different cultures to my sense of logic would make the world more open to a country that takes over a day to get to anywhere in the world. We are just as naive and closed off as our indigenous culture was when we came into their world, and now the world has entered our culture and we have not had enough time either to adjust to the dominance of others out there. Knowledge is power, give our children this knowledge to lessen their fears and allow them to mature. They have no choice, the world is getting smaller each day

Yabby, you’re not only funnyyyyy but also correct; sex education combined with contraception is the BEST remedy against unwanted pregnancies.

In my opinion, the church needs to stay right out of politics- they bully. They interfere in people's lives and think they know it better because they belong to a group that is, in their eyes 'always right'.

We do not need some rules and commandments to ‘be moral’. We are a democracy. We do not need religious interference to tell us what is wrong and right, we have a conscious, we have brains and we can reason. We can make decisions.
We can make up our own minds about anything at all.

Out with the old bible quotes- you can use them in your own life but the quotes, rules, bullying of churches have to stay out of politics.

You guessed it: I favour a secular state.

Pericles, you journey well, and with wisdom as your companion.
