This is good, but falls way short of what was sought.

Christian lobby group is happy (this is from an email from Freedom 4 Faith)

Right-wing conservative religious lobbyists, Freedom 4 Faith, are still claiming a win for religious freedom through the defeat of these proposals though. Not having to refer a patient on is an egregious omission.⬇️

Agree that paragraph doesn't mean that. This, however, unhelpfully implies a lack of faith is often problematic, not that I expect anything else from someone peddling faith as the answer to everything & whose job has been getting converts. Such assumptions are harmful, imo

Looks can be deceiving. When you imply non-religious people are at fault for what's wrong with the world, espouse doctrine to control women's bodies & protect child abusers, no amount of lipstick will help. I'd prefer no mask, at least that would be honest

Yet, according to the new Pope, a lack of faith is what ails this world. It's the heathens' fault...
May 10, 2025 at 3:39 AM
Also already carrying on the time-honoured tradition of slagging off the non-religious, as if faith has been an effective barrier to wrong-doing.
May 10, 2025 at 3:36 AM
And the non-religious. Can't just recognise good people being good whether they're religious or not.

The bar is so incredibly low for that institution. Will they report this?

More of the same from that anachronistic boys' club.
May 10, 2025 at 3:06 AM
Pfft.
May 10, 2025 at 1:06 AM
Oh, really? Look what he's already said about the non-religious.
May 10, 2025 at 12:25 AM
Well, it didn't take long for the new Pope to bare his bigotry.

He's the perfect fit, after all.

I'm not sure religious affiliation has much to do with it, Catholic or Jewish. Catholic lay people often make up their own minds about things & a lot of non-Catholics attend Catholic schools

Yep, and this, but we will only have one Greens MP, if things hold, in the HoR. Senate Greens will have to hold the line

That's just not true.

Albanese promised to protect LGBTQI people and hasn't.
But according to conservative Christian lobbyists at Freedom for Faith, Labor has made this commitment.

Will they ignore this now LNP has been made essentially irrelevant? #auspol

For example, right-wing conservative Christian lobby group, Freedom for Faith, are saying this:

ALP didn't deliver promised protections for LGBTQI even though they could have.

My seat of Ryan looks to still be retainable for the Greens.
May 3, 2025 at 1:57 PM
I had not seen this.

The use of the fundamentalist Christian sect as polling booth volunteers is reported by Nikki Sava to have come from Dutton's office.

The Liberal party is tightly intertwined with regressive Christian ideology, another parallel with Trump

If you want #ReligiousFreedom for all - freedom *from* as well as of religion - don't bother with the duopoly who will always be beholden to the noisy minority of the faithful & ignore the growing non-religious cohort.

Conservative Christian group Freedom 4 Faith says it's extracted this promise⬇️

Unsurprisingly, Liberals pledge to increase $ for school chaplains.

They don't even use the current name of the program, so it's probably safe to assume they will remove the option to, heaven forbid, hire people on merit alone.

"The poll came as Mr Dutton jetted in to Queensland... to sandbag his seat"

But he wouldn't stick around to sandbag homes preparing for a cyclone.

Typical, self-serving attitude from our own Trump fanboy.

Buried in Liberal costings

This is exactly why they don't release them with ample time for scrutiny.

Dutton & his band of grifters are contemptuous of voters & deliberately withhold information from scrutiny #auspol #TemuTrump

This is the flyer that Catholic Education NSW produced.

By adding commentary, instead of just distributing the comparative table, I suggest this charity may have overstepped the definition political activity provided by the ACNC.

What do others think?
