We have always had freedom of religion. You can be religious or not; there is no official religion; our head of state isn't the head of any religion. Quoting the Bible or any other religious tract is not illegal. Nothing Israel Folau said is illegal. The government doesn't care about what he said, and not should they. That instance is purely a matter between him and his employer. A mob of snow flakes and minorities carrying on like cut cats doesn't make the affair an official or legal issue for anyone other than Folau and Rugby Australia. It should be a non-event for everyone else.

Freedom of religion is alive and well in Australia. So is the rule of law which is more than adequate to keep our society civilised. We have too many laws already.

I get no joy out of the link yuyutsu will not either
I understand Shadow Ministers post
But truly fear, no other word will do, the rise in very radical movements within every faith
For those reasons I support the need for legislation'
But warn again it is no easy task
It must not discriminate, against, or for, any faith
Too is must not become part of any government's thinking about how to govern, we must confront the rise of hate is an enemy of every faith

I'm offended by the insidious hypocrites hiding behind religion !

'I'm offended by the insidious hypocrites hiding behind religion !'

good to see you joining the offense brigade Individual. Guaranteed to see yourself as a victim and justifying hating those who have a different view.

runner,
Well, you had to bring up hate, didn't ya ! Disagreement not crap-stirring enough for you ?
I don't hat & don't object to different views. I do however strongly object to perpetually having to fend off hypocrites & the damage they cause !

Belly,

"Ise Mise be careful what you wish for
Do you think Islam should have a hold on so many governments?"

I didn't wish for anything, that's just your normal misreading of posts.

But I do hope that in the new legislation a Hindu shopkeeper will have to stop paying his staff extra for working on a Holy Day that honours a religion that he does not believe in.
