        Maybe the review of religious freedoms will conclude that they have far too many and should pull their heads in.

        I'm bloody sick of this group of for want of a better word blble bashers carrying on about religious freedoms.. Their narrowness is limited to christianity, they have no regard for other religions.

        agree or disagree, as we can for any law. But to claim your religious freedoms have been eroded is a travesty, and just shines a light on your bitterness and narrow mindedness.

        @corybernardi Miranda @LyleShelton and their conservative ilk are so out of touch with reality, it's laughable. They want to try dragging people back to the 1800s which is ironic, as Miranda wouldn't have been able 2 vote then due 2 the patriarchy. #Wrongsideofhistory #auspol

        Move on - it would be good if these reactionaries started practising what their religion professes to preach.

        .@corybernardi @mirandadevine I really don't understand why they obsess about the #LGBTQI community when there are so many important things in the world to be concerned about. #ClimateChangeIsReal

        The current religious exemptions to our Discrimination Laws are just fine. Nothing to fix, nothing worth changing.

        They would quite happily have them taken away. Australia is SECULAR.. government and religion are separate, as it should be. As such all religions should follow the law of the land.. and in this case the new law allows ssm. Yes you have the right to

        Wish you all well. The ssm deviants are beginning to show their true intents. Gay marriage is a joke that contains NO humour. It is a self imposed delusion by unreal sex maniacs - no love anywhere, just selfish little people.
