Some who freely speak their minds have nothing to say.

A few months ago, an orthodox Jewish school in the UK failed two consecutive education authority inspections for failing to teach girls between the ages of 3 and 11 years about sexual orientation and gender re-assignment. In fact, the school faced closure for what the report called their failure to teach these “fundamental British values”.
Vishnitz, an all-girls primary school, receives no government funding, and as a result was able to educate the girls in accordance with orthodox Jewish beliefs. A faith-based institution, the school made the decision to leave all sex education to the parents. 
Up until the introduction of same-sex marriage, there had been no problem with this. However, once the Equalities Act was implemented in 2014, the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills (Ofsted) began to fail the school when it came to compliance with the Equalities Act and the education of students in so-called “British values.”

Dear Josephus,

We are so different from Britain in so many ways.
What happens there does not automatically
translate to it happening in Australia. We have
legislations in place and the rule of law which
provides protections for religious freedoms.
Again, I am beginning to sound like a broken record.
Your fears are unwarranted.

QLD Labor policy.
  
SAFE SCHOOLS IN QUEENSLAND SCHOOLS CONTENT
 “Gender isn’t quite as simple as whether you’re ‘male’ or ‘female’. Everyone has their own gender identity in relation to masculinity and femininity. Some identify with both, and some don’t identify with either, it’s up to the individual to describe what gender identity fits them best. There are a whole range of different words people use to describe their gender identity."

Our teaching and learning resource, titled All Of Us, is designed for use by school teachers with Years 7 and 8 students. All Of Us is a collection of short videos and teaching activities designed by Safe Schools Coalition Australia in order to assist students in understanding gender diversity, sexual diversity and intersex topics. The videos capture the real lives of young lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) Australians in order to bring their stories into your classroom. Learning activities are built around the personal stories and experiences of these young people in order to facilitate genuine discussion and generate understanding.

Not automatically, just a repeat after "due" consideration.

Dear Is Mise,

That's not true. We are a Federation.

The only thing we have in common with the UK
is the mace that is sometimes used.
