        I hope he is absolutely committed to fight discrimination against gays, the divorced and remarried and those who are pro choice. Religious institution to get exemptions should advertise their exclusion policies.

        I hope, in a secular society, that we can also expect our Parliament to defend our right to freedom FROM religion.

        Freedom of religion has worked really well. Systemic child sex abuse, covering it up & protecting paedophiles. Taxpayers now to bear cost of that religious freedom. Now Govt to allow discrimination against the law. #auspol

        Those freedoms are enshrined by the Constitution, thats sufficient, unless of course Turnbull has it in mind to introduce a bill of rights, protecting every Australian from the government's excesses.

        Freedom of religion means freedom to practice as oneself however it does not mean the freedom to denigrate, alienate, denounce or discriminate against those who do not hold the same religious or social values.
