We would be concerned over any diminution of the current level of freedom we have to promote or publicise our faith and to engage in debate on faith and related moral/ethical/life issues and to seek to persuade others in relation to such issues; and we imagine that people of other faiths would express similar concerns. Is there adequate protection against discrimination based on religion or belief, and protection of ability to discriminate in particular contexts? We are confident that protection from discrimination based on religion (e.g., in employment) is adequate. We recognize that the ability to discriminate based on belief (or no belief) needs to be protected in particular contexts, e.g., in recruitment of church staff and in faith-based schools. How should the Australian Government protect freedom of religion and belief? Freedom of religion and belief is, in general, adequately protected; the extent to which there is currently freedom of speech is in itself sufficient. These twin freedoms have, in recent times, been quite seriously infringed through the exercise of State legislation designed to prevent vilification, as in Victoria. Do religious or faith-based groups have undue influence over government and/or does the government have undue influence over religious or faith-based groups? We are not aware of “undue” influence over government by religious or faith-based groups but we would wish to see protected the right of such groups to represent to government their views on public issues, as is normal for any other group. How should government manage tensions that develop between aspirations? Where such tensions are such as to attract police attention, government could encourage moderate leaders/voices to engage with each other in an appropriately managed environment, to seek to ease tensions. Is there a role for religious voices alongside others in the policy debates of the nation? We have already referred to this issue in our response to 2.4 Should religious organizations (including religious schools, hospitals and other service delivery agencies) exclude people from employment because of their sexuality or their sex and gender identity? If such issues are intrinsic to the religious/faith identity of the institution, exclusion on such grounds should not be prohibited. We note that political parties, for instance, are not required to employ people who do not share their beliefs and ethos; such grace should apply equally to these organizations. 7.10a) Are there religious groups, practices and beliefs that you think are of concern to Australians? We are confident that the police are able to make such judgements and would be more concerned about possible vigilante type groups arising in response to practices or beliefs they find offensive )+efko    В З G м ж     U v „ ь “ – — 7)*s  BžНлмоЇЌопщJ  њ№њшфрлжлЯрЫрлрЧрЧУОЧЫЧЫЧЙОЧЕАЕУЕАЕУЕЌЇЌЃЌЃžЃ—ž— hаOQhаOQ hаOQ6hаOQ hЛ(е6hЛ(е hоjL6hоjL hЖ026 hEvя6hЖ02hEvяhE6ь hКpЛhКpЛ hыq6 hКpЛ6hКpЛh&dh&dh&d5h&dh&d5H* h&d50456fghijk   E F G к л м    S T U ” їїїїїїїїїїѕѕѕѕѕэшшшшшрлллgdEvя & FgdЖ02gdКpЛ & FgdКpЛ$a$gd&d§” • – 567'()*rs@ABžмноІЇпрсњњђњњњњњњъххххнххххеааааgdЛ(е & FgdЛ(е & FgdоjLgdоjL & FgdоjL & FgdЖ02gdEvясIJ њњњњњgdаOQ,1hАа/ Ар=!А"А# $ %ААФАФ Ф†œ@@ёџ@ NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH DAђџЁD Default Paragraph FontRiѓџГR  Table Normalі4ж l4жaі (kєџС(No List  џџџџ456fghijkEFGклмSTU”•–567'()*rs@ABžмноІ Ї п р с I J   ˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜ 0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜ 0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜ 0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜ 0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜ 0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜ 0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€ ” с  №8№@ёџџџ€€€ї№’№№0№( № №№B №S №ПЫџ ?№џџд=V М(и е=V ,/и ж=V Œ0и з=V Ь=и и=V  >и й=V д?и к=V ”vи FMU]]ŠŠ LT[ee’’ 9*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags€State€=*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags €PlaceType€=*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags €PlaceName€8*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags€City€9*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags€place€ ќЂ dmилофхю ‹  "˜žžн 336Uю ил цMAVњqџџџџџџџџџуQa№џD…џџџџџџџџџZ!%оˆ”„џџџџџџџџџ.7кžџџџџџџџџџи h№HPџџџџџџџџџlu~z1џџџџџџџџџ„Є„\ўЦЄ^„Є`„\ў6o(„Є„\ўЦЄ^„Є`„\ў6o(.„а„0§Ца^„а`„0§6o(..„а„0§Ца^„а`„0§6o(... „8„ШћЦ8^„8`„Шћ6o( .... „8„ШћЦ8^„8`„Шћ6o( ..... „ „`њЦ ^„ `„`њ6o( ...... „ „`њЦ ^„ `„`њ6o(....... „„јјЦ^„`„јј6o(........„р„ ўЦр^„р`„ ў6o(„р„ ўЦр^„р`„ ў6o(.„а„0§Ца^„а`„0§6o(..„а„0§Ца^„а`„0§6o(... „8„ШћЦ8^„8`„Шћ6o( .... „8„ШћЦ8^„8`„Шћ6o( ..... „ „`њЦ ^„ `„`њ6o( ...... „ „`њЦ ^„ `„`њ6o(....... „„јјЦ^„`„јј6o(........„Є„\ўЦЄ^„Є`„\ў6o(„Є„\ўЦЄ^„Є`„\ў6o(.„а„0§Ца^„а`„0§6o(..„а„0§Ца^„а`„0§6o(... „8„ШћЦ8^„8`„Шћ6o( .... „8„ШћЦ8^„8`„Шћ6o( ..... „ „`њЦ ^„ `„`њ6o( ...... „ „`њЦ ^„ `„`њ6o(....... „„јјЦ^„`„јј6o(........„Є„\ўЦЄ^„Є`„\ў6o(„Є„\ўЦЄ^„Є`„\ў6o(.„а„0§Ца^„а`„0§6o(..„а„0§Ца^„а`„0§6o(... „8„ШћЦ8^„8`„Шћ6o( .... „8„ШћЦ8^„8`„Шћ6o( ..... „ „`њЦ ^„ `„`њ6o( ...... „ „`њЦ ^„ `„`њ6o(....... „„јјЦ^„`„јј6o(........„h„˜ўЦh^„h`„˜ў6o(„h„˜ўЦh^„h`„˜ў6o(.„а„0§Ца^„а`„0§6o(..„а„0§Ца^„а`„0§6o(... „8„ШћЦ8^„8`„Шћ6o( .... „8„ШћЦ8^„8`„Шћ6o( ..... „ „`њЦ ^„ `„`њ6o( ...... „ „`њЦ ^„ `„`њ6o(....... „„јјЦ^„`„јј6o(........„X„Ј§ЦX^„X`„Ј§6o(„X„Ј§ЦX^„X`„Ј§6o(.„а„0§Ца^„а`„0§6o(..„а„0§Ца^„а`„0§6o(... „8„ШћЦ8^„8`„Шћ6o( .... „8„ШћЦ8^„8`„Шћ6o( ..... „ „`њЦ ^„ `„`њ6o( ...... „ „`њЦ ^„ `„`њ6o(....... „„јјЦ^„`„јј6o(........цMAluZ!%уQa.7и hџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџ х §Ж02оjLаOQ&dыqzZžКpЛšLвЛ(еE6ьEvяџ@€!!PО- ММ!!
