In a nutshell, the telling point is simple.
A Muslim School, Christian School, Jewish School or whichever faith based school...they must have the protections to allow them to to operate in accordance with their religious ethos & whatever Holy Scriptures they have unrestricted.
Unrestricted insofar as they do not threaten, intimidate, harass or vilify a person or would be considered malicious to a "reasonable person". Will also mean a Muslim or Christian or Jewish (insert any other faith) School can require that students are of their respective faith & prevent others not of that faith from attending. This will not be discrimatory.
The so called Israel Folau Clause which would prevent a person from being sacked for expressing a religious point of view has supposedly been scrapped. That being the case, a future such case would possibly have to head to court to get resoved.
Not ideal.
If you scroll up, re-read the section with bold italics and this is where some political parties will fall down. Some of them do not understand what a "reasonable person's test" is within the workings of their own party. I can only assume they'll copy another party & fake it until they make it.
Here's the thing. The Left & the Right will have views on this and it'll will be woke laced, identity politics governed and have some other vile premise like intersectionality, oppression politics where to remove concocted oppression from one group greater oppression & over reach will be applied to another group.
This will become them vs us.
There are really only 2 options, that or Conservatives & Progressives (even if they don't align greatly & the 2nd alternative if Cultural Neo Marxism
We will end up seeing who the real Conservatives are & who a Woke Theatre Props pretending to be be Conservatives in a pretend Conservative Party.
Not only will what MPs (state & federal) say be telling, so too will those who will be silent on it. There will be those pretend conservatives (deliberate lower case) who will stay silent & who will not be drawn on it.
You're probably getting closer to Greens supporters who couldn't get a seat in Parliament with the Greens so used a middle road party to get elected & help restructure their finances & their failed career.
Watch how many WA Members of Parliament are outspoken or silent/deflective when asked.
If they give tactical replies instead of a clear concise answer to your questions, be sure not to ever vote for them & encourage others to ask them questions and also not vote for them if the deflections continue.
Parliaments around Australia have too many Crafty & Ruthless Theatre Props.
We also have too many Bureacrat heavy on making the legislation THEY want & not what's best for the people.
Crafty & Ruthless Theatre Props & Over-Reaching Bureacrats go hand in hand.
Both need serious reform. Both are over done with Public Dis-Service Ideals.
Reform for them is far more essential & would be far more productive.
From exprience talk with a good number of MPs & exMPs of varying stripes, many have a view on different faiths & yet seem to have an astonishingly poor understanding or grasp on those 3 main faiths let alone the many minor ones, especially the Eastern Faiths. In keeping with the profound they sometimes seem to find in the vague, the less they understand an eastern faith, more likely they are to support it instead of their own cultural faith.
This is either fuel by their eagerness to be a bit woke for votes OR they think some groups vote en masse exactly the same & that will support their electiblity...and therefore success in their Financial Restructuring and/or Career Restructuring.
We desperately need Real Conservatives & Wise Progressives. I suspect Labor has a unknown number of wise progressives who are outnumbered & must vote as instructed and the Opposition Benches have a some Conservatives & some Faux Conservatives with a woke streak. Hope they're flushed out. In the meantime, check their policy platforms & failing that ring your local MP and the closest MPs of an opposing side to get an idea.
