There is a new "religious freedom" project being pushed by the Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC). These are the same people that brought you the Religious Vilification Act you find in Victoria.
Religion Freedom in AHRC context means all minority religions i.e. not Christianity and Judaism get all the freedoms at the expense of the other two. The Victorian committee for example is stacked with only minority representatives, i.e. no one is representing or defending the majority of Australians.
In essence anyone that criticises Islam, homosexual Satan worshippers and similar groups is taken to court. The accuser gets government support and the accused, even if they win, get nothing back for all they have had to do to defend themselves.
Groups like the AHRC seem to be determined to undermine the basic freedoms of the average Australian and give them only to minority groups, some of which hate all Australia stands for.
A side note. What you and know as Australia and what it stands for is based on an underlying Christian influence. You don't have to believe in a god or be Christian to see that these fundamentals like freedom of speech, freedom to question, freedom to debate and criticise and the very fundamental that even allows the question of greater freedom for other groups to exist, is a good thing. To allow this to be taken away is simply cowardice.
