LABORSPEAK

This is how Labor politicians define 'equality':

The Equal Opportunity (Religious Exceptions) Bill 2016 seeks to restrict the ability of religious schools and organisations to employ staff according to their faith and ethos.

Religious schools and churches are currently allowed to require that staff contribute to and demonstrate their religious values and ethos. It's called freedom of association and freedom of religion. The Government's proposed 'inherent requirements' test in this Bill would take away the freedom of Christian schools to hire all staff on the basis that they are genuine adherents, in belief and practice, to the Christian basis of the school.

These proposed changes would have the effect that Christian schools and churches could be forced to hire people who are fundamentally opposed to what the school or church stands for.
Christian schools should be free to associate on the basis that they integrate a worldview based on religious beliefs and values into all aspects of school life.
Churches appointing non-clergy staff may have to justify to a Government tribunal why they chose to employ a practising Christian over a non-Christian.
The Bill does not similarly restrict political parties or other clubs. An ALP Minister can rightfully refuse to hire a person that does not agree with ALP policy. So this Bill is a focused attack on freedom of religion.
