It's just occurred to me that the Religious Review
that will be presented to Cabinet - should also
look at a broader picture. Not just abolishing
religious schools from expelling gay students,
they should look at gay teachers being protected as
well. Also what about religious institutions such
as hospitals, residual and community aged care
centres run by religious organisations? Do they
have the legal right to discriminate against gay
people?

Cabinet should look at the bigger picture of
discrimination by religious groups in our communities.
Especially ones that receive government funding or
tax excemptions of any kind from the public purse.

After all we are a secular state - and religious laws
are not supposed to be legally recognised in this
country. This will be a real test of the government
And the Opposition.

According to the Attorney General's Department - not to be
humiliated, demeaned, or treated unfairly is supposed to be an absolute right within our legal system.

Oh you forget to include Christian doctors being forced to murder the unborn Foxy. I thought we might of learned a thing or to from the homosexual priests that were employed ny the Catholic church. Just a thought!

Foxy,

Do you think that it would be unfair for a religious school to discriminate against a priest-teacher who had a conviction for paedophilia?

Or a homosexual priest-teacher who had publicly advocated the lowering of the age of consent for male teenagers?

Should the Labor party be forced to end its discrimination against its MPs who cross the floor on a matter of conscience?

Dear Foxy,

«It's just occurred to me that the Religious Review that will be presented to Cabinet - should also look at a broader picture.»

Yes, religious freedoms are being trampled over in Australia, not just in the area of schooling.

«Not just abolishing religious schools from expelling gay students»

This is not what Ruddock recommended!
The recommendation is that if schools want to do this, then they must notify the parents and teachers about this policy in advance.

«Especially ones that receive government funding or tax excemptions»

ESPECIALLY? So what are your sinister plans regarding others who do not want your money and do not rob the taxpayer? Mind you, the biggest robbers are the state-schools.

«After all we are a secular state»

Do you enjoy rubbing salt on our wounds?

It is YOUR state, they are YOUR thugs who impose YOUR rules upon us, who can do so only because they own all the guns.

Asking me to identify with your regime and call it "mine" or "we" or "our", is similar to defecating on my door-step, then ringing my door-bell to ask for toilet paper: all you will get from me is sand paper!

«religious laws are not supposed to be legally recognised in this country»

Who ever asked you to recognise anything?
All we, religious people, are asking, is that you stop persecuting us!
Leave us alone!

«not to be humiliated, demeaned, or treated unfairly is supposed to be an absolute right within our legal system.»

Go tell that fable to police, go tell it to airport "security" and custom officers who harass, humiliate and demean ordinary travellers...

Is Mise,

What you are suggesting is illegal, and against the
law. And people who break the law will be punished
accordingly. But why do you attach these things to
gay children and gay teachers?

runner,

I don't know of any doctor who murders unborn children.
But there are many Christians who have killed and
attacked doctors and staff, and patients in clinics.
You need to chill out with your finger-pointing.
It's sick!

Yuyutsu,

I'm not asking anything of you - not even for
civility.

I am merely trying to broaden this discussion.

It is a topic worth discussing - with all of its
broad range.

If you find it distressing I would suggest that you
are under no obligation to take part in it.

Also kindly do not put words into my mouth or speak on
my behalf.
