I mean, if faith-based schools are permitted to go around hiring people on the basis of faith, they’ll be faith-based. And that’s a problem because… um …

So basically the religious discrimination bill, if passed, will discriminate against people with a faith. Let’s pray it’s another failure of the incompetent Albo government!
James Macpherson has succinctly exposed the absolute hypocrisy of the Lobor Government; Labor would never think of inviting a Liberal into their ranks, it would be anathema to them, and yet Labor is seeking to force faith based schools to do what they would never ever do.
