I below have quoted a Herald Sun article 12-4-2015 under the heading Parents who shun
vaccinations to lose up to $15k a year in rebates. And view it appropriate to point out that as
a CONSTITUTIONALIST I remind you upon the County Court of Victoria at the time
exercising federal jurisdiction in the matters of FAILING TO VOTE in which after a 5 year epic
legal battle I comprehensive defeated the Commonwealth of Australia (including all State
Attorney-Generals) on the issue of religious exemption.

QUOTE
Currently, immunisation is already a requirement to access childcare payments and
the FTB supplement. But all parents have to do to dodge the requirements is sign a
form confirming they have discussed immunisation with a GP and have a personal
philosophical, religious reason not to vaccinate.

Existing exemptions on medical or religious grounds will continue, but Mr Morrison
said that would only exist where the parent was affiliated with the religious group and
the governing body had formally registered objection approved by the Government.

Let be very clear about it the loss of a child being due to vaccination or not is a parents
nightmare. I too was faced with this problem after our son Guido in 1970 was vaccinated not
even 1 year old and as the doctor in the hospital explained had our friend who happened to visit
not raced our son to the hospital he would have likely been death.
As such, vaccination kills children and I understand a lot of children die after vaccination, and/or
are permanently caused to be invalid etc. As such, without seeking to be religious one must be
Solomon and play God to decide should parents who refuse their children to be vaccinated
to be overruled at risk of losing their child? How sure is it that a child that died shortly
after birth would have survived if other children had been vaccinated? If vaccination is the
solution then why are so many children who are vaccinated then nevertheless harmed?
Why are children DYING within hours of a vaccination?

So now we have a Minister in clear violation of s116 of the constitution going to asses which
religion he deems is valid or not as to opposition to vaccination, this even so atheist without any
religious basis nevertheless are entitled to have their objections against vaccinations as the welsh
case (Upheld on 19 July 2006 in the County Court of Victoria invoking federal jurisdiction.)
Lets be clear about it I relied upon the Welsh case and neither the Commonwealth or any
Attorney-Generals from the States/Territories challenged my submissions. Therefore, for all
intent and purposes the court had unchallenged submissions and it is beyond the power of the
Commonwealth and/or the States/Territories. (As the High Court of Australia made clear in
Wakim HCA 27 of 1999)!)
85
The following is an American version but can also be used in Australia. In my view if
vaccination is so safe then the relevant Minister should accept PERSONAL responsibility for
every child that falls ill and/or dies as result of vaccination! Seed how many persons are then
wanting to be the responsible Minister to accept PERSONAL liability for this?

Remember the immunisations of sailors for the 2003 Iraq invasion with the Minister of Defence
claiming it was safe. Well those women who had the immunisation and now claiming that they
lost because of this their child bearing ability should be able to sue the then responsible
Minister for his fraudulent/deceptive conduct.
Let any medical practitioner who provide immunisation to provide for a declaration that the
immunisation is safe for the person named on the certificate, and then when things go wrong the
medical practitioner accepts personal liability for the harm inflicted upon the person so named.

I have personally investigated the reports made to the VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) and
state that it is my professional opinion that the vaccines I am recommending are safe for administration to a child
under the age of 5 years.
The bases for my opinion are itemized on Exhibit A, attached hereto, Physicians Bases for Professional
Opinion of Vaccine Safety. (Please itemize each recommended vaccine separately along with the bases for
arriving at the conclusion that the vaccine is safe for administration to a child under the age of 5 years.)
The professional journal articles I have relied upon in the issuance of this Physicians Warranty of Vaccine
Safety are itemized on Exhibit B , attached hereto, Scientific Articles in Support of Physicians Warranty of
Vaccine Safety.
The professional journal articles that I have read which contain opinions adverse to my opinion are itemized on
Exhibit C , attached hereto, Scientific Articles Contrary to Physicians Opinion of Vaccine Safety
The reasons for my determining that the articles in Exhibit C were invalid are delineated in Attachment D ,
attached hereto, Physicians Reasons for Determining the Invalidity of Adverse Scientific Opinions.
Hepatitis B
I understand that 60 percent of patients who are vaccinated for Hepatitis B will lose detectable antibodies to
Hepatitis B within 12 years. I understand that in 1996 only 54 cases of Hepatitis B were reported to the CDC in
the 0-1 year age group. I understand that in the VAERS, there were 1,080 total reports of adverse reactions from
Hepatitis B vaccine in 1996 in the 0-1 year age group, with 47 deaths reported.
I understand that 50 percent of patients who contract Hepatitis B develop no symptoms after exposure. I
understand that 30 percent will develop only flu-like symptoms and will have lifetime immunity. I understand
that 20 percent will develop the symptoms of the disease, but that 95 percent will fully recover and have lifetime
immunity.
I understand that 5 percent of the patients who are exposed to Hepatitis B will become chronic carriers of the
disease. I understand that 75 percent of the chronic carriers will live with an asymptomatic infection and that
only 25 percent of the chronic carriers will develop chronic liver disease or liver cancer, 10-30 years after the
acute infection. The following scientific studies have been performed to demonstrate the safety of the Hepatitis B
vaccine in children under the age of 5 years.

Madam,
As you are aware I continue to refer to my religious objection albeit do wish to indicate that while using the
religious objection referred to in subsection 245(14) of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 I do not
consider that this subsection 14 limits an objection only to an theistic belief based religious objection but in
fact it also includes any secular belief based religious objection, as it must be neutral to whatever a person
uses as grounds for an objection. This, as Section 116 of the Constitution prohibit the Commonwealth of
Australia to limit the scope of subsection 245(14) to only theistic belief based religious objections.
Therefore, any person having a purely moral, ethical, or philosophical source of religious objection have a
valid objection.
Neither do I accept that a person making an religious objection requires to state his/her religion, and neither
which part of his/her religion provides for a religious objection as the mere claim itself is sufficient to
constitute what is referred to in subsection 245(14) as being a religious objection. Therefore, the wording
religious objection is to be taken as objection without the word religion having any special meaning in
that regard.
If you do not accept this as such, then there is clearly another constitutional issue on foot!
I request you to respond as soon as possible and set out your position in this regard.
Awaiting your response, G. H. SCHOREL-HLAVKA

AND WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
Re; Charges, etc
275 Madam,
280
285
290
With proceedings due next month, I view it would be more appropriate if you were to make some effort as to
communicate with myself regarding matters relating to the charges and indeed the legal justification of them. After
all, the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions may be litigating against many people allegedly failing to
vote, besides myself, and it may be born out by my material that none of such litigation could be constitutionally
valid. In my view, the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions must consider ALL RELEVANT
MATERIAL as to ensure it is not pursuing vexatious charges.
I assume that while you are a lawyer, more then likely you are not a constitutionalist, and as such may lack the
experiences and competence to understand and comprehend the material I am relying upon, and for this you may do
better to perhaps seek to consult a constitutionalist who is appropriately trained in these matters. After all, if a
constitutionalist were to conclude that indeed I am on the right track that the charges have no constitutional
validity then you could surely save the Courts time to hear and determine vexatious charges or even to try to attempt
to do so.
Albeit, I am still working on the DRAFT version of the ADDRESS TO THE COURT, it nevertheless is already
comprehensive and would indicate to a constitutionalist that the charges are ill conceived and without any
constitutional bases to proceed with, and as such I am willing to provide an electronic copy to you of the DRAFT,
albeit not completed, version so you may perhaps seek advise of a constitutionalist.

1. The language of 6 (j) cannot be construed (as it was in United States v. Seeger, supra, and as it is in the
prevailing opinion) to exempt from military service all individuals who in good faith oppose all war, it
being clear from both the legislative history and textual analysis of that provision that Congress used the
words "by reason of religious training and belief" to limit religion to its theistic sense and to confine it to
formal, organized worship or shared beliefs by a recognizable and cohesive group. Pp. 348-354.
2. The question of the constitutionality of 6 (j) cannot be avoided by a construction of that provision that is
contrary to its intended meaning. Pp. 354-356.
3. Section 6 (j) contravenes the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment by exempting those whose
conscientious objection claims are founded on a theistic belief while not exempting those whose claims are
based on a secular belief. To comport with that clause an exemption must be "neutral" and include those
whose belief emanates from a purely moral, ethical, or philosophical source. Pp. 356-361.
4. In view of the broad discretion conferred by the Act's severability clause and the longstanding policy of
exempting religious conscientious objectors, the Court, rather than nullifying the exemption entirely, should
extend its coverage to those like petitioner who have been unconstitutionally excluded from its coverage.

Refer to the statutes. The laws require that immunization must conflict with the tenets and practices of a
recognized or organized religion of which you are an adherent or member. However, the law does not
require you to name a religion at all. In fact, disclosing your religion could cause your religious
exemption to be challenged.
And
Some schools and daycares attempt to require you to give far more information than required by law.
You are not required by law to fill out any form letters from a school or daycare. The law allows you to
submit your own letter and the letter only needs to meet the bare requirements of the law. Keep it simple; do
not feel you need to describe your religious beliefs here as that also is not required by law.
And
Many times, when a school or day care questions your exemption, they are merely unfamiliar with the
law or trying to coerce you to go against your beliefs by deliberately misrepresenting the law. They are
betting on the fact that you don't know your rights.
What appears to be clear is that a religious objection is not qualified to a specific religion and neither can be as
this would in fact offend Section 116 of the Constitution. Neither can it be associated with any particular religion
as this would also interfere with Section 116 of the Constitution. Likewise, any person objecting under the
religious objection Subsection 245(14) of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 neither can be required to be
a religious person as this would also offend Section 116 of the Constitution, as the equivalent in WELSH v.
UNITED STATES, 398 U.S. 333 (1970), 398 U.S. 333 made clear that it (the religious objection applies as
much to non religious persons as religious persons. Therefore, anyone objection for his/her personal reasons to
vote clearly is entitled to do so regardless of having any specific religion mentioned.

years had such religious objections. No duty was upon the Defendant to specifically refer to this to the Australian
Electoral Commission when it questioned about their alleged failure to vote, as all along the Defendant contested
the validity of the Australian Electoral Commission to do so where the Defendant all along had his constitutional
based objections on foot against the elections being held. Considering other matters set out extensively the issue
of if the Defendant voted and if not why not is not relevant unless and until first all constitutional based
objections have been appropriately dealt with. If for example the Courts were to declare that indeed section 245
of the CEA1918 is beyond constitutional powers then it was so ab initio and it then is clearly for this also not
relevant if the Defendant did or didnt vote, and if he did not vote why not as there is no legislation applicable for
this.

It should be clear that the constitution was not just created to benefit my person and as such it
applies equally to all persons. It means that where there is any religious exemption regarding
vaccination then it also apply to non-religious objectors. None has to give a reason as to their
religious/non-religious objections.
480
Again, do you really view you so to say can play god to decide parents must be forced to have
their children vaccinated and bad luck if more children die and/or become disabled, etc, as you
are more concerned to the children who die regardless of any vaccination issues.

Where is the evidence that the child, referred to in an article below, died because of other
children not being vaccinated?
A grieving mother may like to blame what to her might be the most obvious but is that then to so

vaccinated against their desires?

Let us be clear about it that the moment you allow religious objections of any kind then nonreligious objections are equal to this.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Social Services Minister Scott Morrison will today
announce the historic reforms, which mean parents who fail to immunise their children
will no longer be paid the $200-a-week childcare benefit, the $7,500-a-year childcare
rebate or the $726 Family Tax Benefit A annual supplement.
The combined childcare and welfare payments at risk could amount to up to $30,000a-year for a family with two young children. The changes will come into effect from
January 1, 2016.
Australia has childhood vaccination rates over 90 per cent for under 5s, but the
number of vaccine refusers is also steadily rising.
535
Parents who vaccinate their children should have confidence that they can take their
children to child care without the fear that their children will be at risk of contracting a
serious or potentially life-threatening illness because of the conscientious objections of
others, Mr Abbott said.
This means that vaccine objectors will not be able to access these government
payments.
540
The change comes after the Sunday Herald Suns Our No Jab, No Play campaign,
which demanded that children must be vaccinated to attend childcare.
Currently, immunisation is already a requirement to access childcare payments and
the FTB supplement. But all parents have to do to dodge the requirements is sign a
form confirming they have discussed immunisation with a GP and have a personal
philosophical, religious reason not to vaccinate.
545
550
As a result, the number the number of vaccine refusers denying children life saving
medicines is rising in Australia, with 39,000 children under the age of 7 not
vaccinated. The shocking figure represents an increase of 24,000 children over the last
decade.
Existing exemptions on medical or religious grounds will continue, but Mr Morrison said
that would only exist where the parent was affiliated with the religious group and the
governing body had formally registered objection approved by the Government.

It is up to families whether they choose to vaccinate their children and it is
Government policy supported by the best possible health advice and research that
they should do so, Mr Morrison said.
However if families choose not to follow that approach, that choice does not entitle
those families to gain access to taxpayer funded benefits, especially where it would
involve their children being placed to together with children from families who have
been immunised.
555
Labor leader Bill Shorten is also offering bipartisan support for tougher provisions,
writing to the Prime Minister on Friday urging him to close the conscientious objector
loophole. His support is vital because the changes will require Senate support to
become law.
560
The science is settled, the experts agree and strengthening these requirements is a
common sense measure that will benefit all children, Mr Shorten said.
Unless a parent has a deeply held religious view, there should be no exceptions to the
community expectation that children are immunised.
565
Currently, to meet the immunisation requirements for the Family Tax Benefit Part A
supplement you need to have your children immunised during the financial years that
each child turns 1, 2 and 5 years old.
This means that parents have up to $2,100-a-year at risk over the three key
vaccination checks. However, the no jab, no play reforms to be announced today go
further, applying to all young children beyond 12 months. This means children would
miss out on the $728 supplement every year they are not vaccinated.
570
Only children under the age of 12 months will be excluded from the new, No Jab, No
Pay reforms. The immunisation requirement does not apply to fortnightly FTB A
payments but only the $728-a-year supplement.
575
For the childcare rebate, the reform means parents could miss out on up to $7,500 per
child each year. Parents who fail to immunise their children will also be ineligible for
the Family Tax Benefit Part A end of year supplement worth $728 a year. Parents
could also be denied up to $6,100 in childcare benefit payments based on a child in
childcare three days a week.

As a CONSTITUTIONALIST I took on the Federal Government as to exemptions for religious issues in a 5
year legal battle for FAILING TO VOTE, and I comprehensively defeated the commonwealth on
constitutional grounds.
600
The same applies as to religious exemptions for immunisation. This, as the Federal Government by s116 of
the constitution is prohibited to assess a persons religious/non-religious reasons.
At my blog www.scribd.com/inspectorrikati I have published ample of details about this.

The Coalition just dug its own grave and Labor/Greens will be no different.
They have divided the country and will cause total chaos. People will leave their
jobs and lose their houses over this, rather than vaccinate their babies.
The God given rights of the parents of 39,000 children have been ignored.
Dont ever buy another Daily or Sunday Telegraph again.
We have cowards, traitors and deluded people running this country.
Cry for the lucky country taking their orders from the Satanic New world Order.
Therefore God sends upon them a strong delusion to make them believe what is false,
so that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord,
because God chose you from the beginning to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit
and belief in the TRUTH. (2 Thessalonians 11-13)

Less than a week after Catherine Hughes son Riley died from pertussis, commonly known as whooping
cough, the Perth mum has been criticised for believing in vaccines that dont work anyway.
She was also berated for blaming others like people who dont vaccinate their children for the death of
her son.

Claire Harvey: Anti-vax terrorists killing our babies
His was the first death from whooping cough in Western Australia since 2011.
750
Yesterday, Sunday Telegraph deputy editor Claire Harvey penned a column criticising anti-vaccinators for
endangering the lives of children by shunning immunisations.
Would you kill a baby today? Would you put him through horrific pain? Would you take away his oxygen
and let him suffocate to death? Harvey wrote.
755
Well, if you havent vaccinated your own children, you are doing all those things. You killed four-week-old
Riley Hughes. You killed the twelve babies who have died of whooping cough in the past six years. You are
responsible. And you have no excuse.
Harveys column had received 900 comments as of this morning, one of which questioned whether Rileys
mother had been immunised herself.

Id like to know if the mother of baby Riley was immunised and breast feeding? this is one of the simplest

post.

Not content with the fact he had conversed directly with the grieving mother, Rich continued.
Its a scary thought that there are people walking around out there after having multiple vaccine shots
believing that they are immune when in fact they are not, as seen by this case where the mother was indeed
vaccinated against pertussis with recent a booster, yet she was unable to pass on her believed immune
status on to her child through passive immunity, Rich posted.
780
Its even scarier to think that these same people are probably walking around blaming other people.

Despite the abuse from anti-vaccinator supporters, the Hughes family have vowed to push for change, saying
they dont want their sons death to be in vain and want to be the drivers of change surrounding the
treatment and management of whooping cough.
The family has now set up a Facebook page in Rileys honour which they hope to use to spread their
message.
785
Mr Hughes appeared on Sunrise this morning to thank Australia for its outpouring of support in the wake of
Rileys death.
The Western Australia Health Department says it does not know how Riley contracted the respiratory

Very small religion exempt on vaccinations
845
850
MEMBERS of one very small religion that opposes vaccinations will continue to receive childcare
and family tax payments despite the Governments no jab, no pay policy.
But Social Services Minister Scott Morrison has refused to name the exempt religion for fear it will
encourage people to line up with it just to get another crack at an exemption.
855
Mr Morrison said the Government would consider further tightening the policy if it was abused.
It is a very narrow exemption, there is only one registered religion that is currently registered for that
exemption so it doesnt apply to mainstream religions at all, Mr Morrison said.
Mr Morrison said any other religions wanting to register an anti-vaccination stance would have to have
their opposition approved by the Government.
As theories swirled on social media, Mr Morrison tweeted: Contrary to speculation the Exclusive Brethren
are not a registered religious exemption for immunisation.
Small sects of Judaism, Islam and Hinduism oppose vaccines manufactured from some animals, but do not
hold an anti-vaccination stance.

The white Acropolis-styled Rayburn Building is where many Congressmen and Congresswomen have their

The House Armed Services Committee convened todays hearing to hear from the religious leaders about the
growing instances of intimidation and suppression of faith in the US military.

But the signs are ominous in Australia, as ACL supporters would know given the battle in Victoria for the

We cant bury our head in the sand and assume aggressive secularists wont start going after Australias fine

Victorias Attorney-General Robert Clark, Education Minister Martin Dixon and Liberal MP for the Eastern
Region Andrew Ronalds took questions from a group of around 70 Christian leaders about issues pertaining
to religious freedom and expression, particularly in regards to religious education in public schools.
Mr Ronalds opened the briefing by discussing the importance of religious freedom, and that every parent has
the right to choose whether their child participates in the Special Religious Instruction (SRI) program.
925
Mr Dixon spoke of his commitment to freedom of religion, his support for the SRI program and for allowing
students the freedom to engage in lunchtime religious activities. He also supported the continuation of the
school chaplaincy program in Victoria.
The Attorney-General addressed the states Equal Opportunity Act, which currently allows for religious
organisations, particularly Christians schools, to appoint staff of their faith and ethos.
The government ministers then took questions from the audience on issues of concern to Christians.
930
ACL recently launched a campaign to reverse a ban on prayer groups and lunchtime Bible studies outlined in
the SRI program policy.

Win for Religious Liberty in Hobby Lobby Case
Thursday, 3 July 2014, 1:31:48 PM | ACL Team
The US Supreme Court has delivered its decision in the Hobby Lobby case, ruling that the store does
not have to provide abortifacients as part of its health care coverage. Requiring the store to do so
violates the owners religious freedom.
955
The case also involved another company, Conestoga Wood, owned by the Mennonite Christian family the
Hahns. The ruling applies to both companies.
Under the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as ObamaCare, companies were required to provide
health care coverage which included contraception. This included several types of contraception that cause
the destruction of a fertilised egg, including the morning-after pill.
960
The Hahn family and the owners of Hobby Lobby, the Green family, refused to provide these types of
contraception. They argued that forcing them to provide the contraception violated their religious
liberty, and that this liberty is protected under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA).

The RFRA was passed in 1993 and protects a persons right to exercise their religion free from a substantial
burden.
965
970
The Court accepted these arguments, allowing Hobby Lobby and Conestoga to abstain from covering
abortifacient contraception in its health care coverage.
The case, Burwell v Hobby Lobby, is a small but significant win for religious freedom in America, and
will be an important precedent for a number of similar cases involving companies owned by
Christians. The case will also affect a number of other cases making their way through the court
system involving not-for-profit organisations.
Justice Kennedy said in his judgment:
975
980
In our constitutional tradition, freedom means that all persons have the right to believe or strive to
believe in a divine creator and a divine law. For those who choose this course, free exercise is essential
in preserving their own dignity and in striving for a self-definition shaped by their religious precepts.
Free exercise in this sense implicates more than just freedom of belief. It means, too, the right to
express those beliefs and to establish ones religious (or nonreligious) self-definition in the political,
civic, and economic life of our larger community.
There can be no more fundamental principle in a free society than the freedom of citizens to act in
accordance with the faith. This includes more than a freedom to belong to a particular religious
community. It also includes the freedom to manifest ones faith in the wider society, including in
political, civic, and economic life.
Read on for more details, and for links to further analysis.
In a 5-4 decision, the Court made several important points:
1. The RFRA covers for-profit corporations.
985
990
The RFRA protects the religious liberty of persons, and a key question was whether Hobby Lobby is a
person for the purposes of the RFRA.
All parties in the case agreed that the RFRA covered certain non-profit corporations. The Court in this
case decided that it also covers for-profit corporations, at least closely held corporations. A closely
held corporation is one owned by a small number of investors and typically includes family-owned
businesses such as Hobby Lobby.
As Justice Samuel Alito explained in his judgment, the RFRA
995
employed the familiar legal fiction of including corporations within RFRAs definition of persons, but
the purpose of extending rights to corporations is to protect the rights of people associated with the
corporations Protecting the free-exercise rights of closely held corporations thus protects the
religious liberty of the humans who own and control them.
2. The government did not use the least restrictive means of achieving its goal
A government can infringe upon religious liberty only if there is a compelling government interest
and only if it uses the least restrictive means for doing so.
1000
The Court did not consider whether there was a compelling government interest to mandate that
companies provide abortifacient birth control to their employees. It did, however, decide that the
government could use means which are less restrictive of religious freedom. In deciding this, the Court
pointed out that the government already provides exemptions to non-profit corporations, evidence that
exempting corporations from the mandate does not undermine its purpose.
3. The government cannot decide what a persons religious convictions are
1005
The government argued that the Greens and the Hahns should have no objection to providing
abortifacient contraception. The Court dismissed this argument, Justice Alito saying:
It is not for the Court to say that the religious beliefs of the plaintiffs are mistaken or unreasonable.

1015
This is perhaps the most significant part of the judgment from a religious liberty point of view. The Court is
upholding the intent of the RFRA, which is to protect the free exercise of religion. The RFRA itself upholds
the freedom of religion guaranteed by the First Amendment to the US Constitution.
The Court was divided along ideological lines, fairly typically for cases of this sort. Liberal Justices Ruth
Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan dissented, with Justice Ginsburg
authoring a 35-page dissenting judgment. The conservatives, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Antonin
Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito were joined by Anthony Kennedy, who often makes the deciding
vote when the court is divided.

Religious freedom eroded in the court decision on a Christian youth camp
Thursday, 17 April 2014, 3:25:27 PM | Dan Flynn, Victorian Director
1100
The Australian Christian Lobby said its a sad day for religious freedom with the Victorian Court of Appeals
decision to dismiss a Christian youth camps appeal to be exempted from an instance of discrimination,
necessitated by its religious beliefs.
The Victorian Court of Appeal handed down its decision on April 16, upholding the Victorian Civil and
Administrative Tribunals ruling that Christian Youth Camps (CYC) had discriminated against an
organisation by refusing to allow it to hire the campsite because the purpose of the organisations project
conflicted with CYC.
1105
1110
ACLs Victorian Director Dan Flynn said the Equal Opportunity Act (EOA) made provision for religious
organisations to be exempt from discrimination if it was necessary for them to express genuine religious
beliefs or principles.
This case shows that equal opportunities triumph religious freedom which is a concern to the ACL. Christian
Youth Camps and its employee, Mark Rowe, were fined for refusing a booking when, according to the
dissenting judge, Justice Redlich, they were compelled to do so by their religious beliefs concerning
marriage, sexuality and sexual orientation, he said.
In Justice Redlichs judgement he said it was important religious organisations retained the freedom to act on
their religious beliefs in the marketplace.
1115
Justice Redlich judgement emphasises that if the religious exemption is restricted by judges this
frustrates the very purpose of the exemption which is to protect religious freedom, Mr Flynn said.
In his judgement, Justice Redlich quoted from the book Religious Freedom in the Liberal State.
1120
1125
T]he broad right to practice or manifest (to use the wording of the European Convention on Human
Rights) ones religion or belief would seem to embrace a huge variety of activity if one takes the view as
many religions do that all life is inspired by or generated by faith and belief. The most mundane of
human behaviours can be spiritualized and take on a religious connotation. One is practising ones
religion when one eats, drinks, works, plays and gardens, as much as when one reads scripture, prays or
meditates. In Christianity, the righteous will live by faith, everything that does not come from faith is
sin, and whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it for the glory of God. On this view there is no
activity which is not generated by ones obedience (or disobedience) to God. Countless schools, hospitals,
orphanages and shelters have been run by religious organizations as part of their religious mission.
Running a caf, gymnasium or bookshop could equally be part of ones religious calling.
Mr Flynn said that he hoped human rights lawyers in Australia would study the decision of Justice Redlich to
better understand the intended scope of section 77 of the Equal Opportunity Act.
1130
Justice Redlich has made a critical contribution to Victorian human rights jurisprudence by articulating the
principle that religious belief may give rise to an obligation of obedience to that principle in the commercial
sphere, he said.
CYC was acting in good conscience in not accepting the booking when it realised the proposed event
conflicted with its own organisational values and beliefs, he said.
Jusict Redlichs judgement can be read via this link. Read from section 439 onwards.

Background
In 2007 Cobaw Community Health Services Way Out project contacted Christian Youth Camps (CYC)
facility to make a booking at the Phillip Island Adventure Resort and refused the booking.
In a 2010 ruling, the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal found CYC had discriminated against the
group and ordered it to pay $5000.

MR: Christian Youth Camps v Cobaw: dissenting judge strikes correct balance
between equal opportunity and religious freedom
Wednesday, 16 April 2014, 10:00:15 PM | ACL Team
1145
MEDIA RELEASE
For release: Wednesday April 16, 2014
A dissenting judge in an anti-discrimination case against a Christian youth camp has warned that religious
freedom is being eroded.
1150
1155
The Victorian Court of Appeal today dismissed an Appeal from a VCAT decision in 2010 which ruled that
Christian Youth Camps had discriminated against Cobaw, a group for same-sex attracted youth, in the
provision of accommodation. The Victorian Court of Appeal President Chris Maxwell & Justice Marcia
Neave (the majority) ruled that discrimination (pursuant to Part 3 of The Equal Opportunity Act
2010) had taken place and that the refusal by CYC to provide the accommodation was not covered by
any of the religious exemptions to the EOA.
However, Section 77 of the EOA provides that:
Nothing in part 3 applies to discrimination by a person against another person if the discrimination is
necessary for the first person to comply with the persons genuine religious beliefs or principles
1160
Contrary to the approach taken by VCAT & the majority, Justice Robert Redlich decided that s.77 is an
exemption available to a corporation and that CYC and its employee Mark Rowe, who refused the booking,
were taking steps necessary to comply with their genuine religious beliefs that promotion of homosexuality
was wrong.
The Australian Christian Lobbys Victorian Director Dan Flynn welcomed Justice Redlichs dissenting
judgement saying it was important religious organisations retained the freedom to protect their ethos.
1165
The dissenting judgement of Justice Redlich correctly states the balance between the competing rights
of equal opportunity and religious freedom. His judgement emphasises that if the scope of the religious
exemption is read down by judges this frustrates the very purpose of the exemption which is to
protect religious freedom, Mr Flynn said.
1170
Justice Redlich has made a critical contribution to Victorian human rights jurisprudence by articulating the
principle that religious belief may give rise to an obligation of obedience to that principle in the commercial
sphere.
1175
The clear sighted conclusion that once CYC became aware of the particular purpose for which the campsite
was to be used was contrary to their beliefs or principles, they were compelled by those beliefs to refuse to
allow their camp site to facilitate such a purpose.Mr Flynn said that he hoped human rights lawyers in
Australia would study the decision of Justice Redlich to better understand the intended scope of section 77 of
the Act.

Rethinking public faith promoting human flourishing from the margins
Thursday, 20 March 2014, 12:07:50 PM | Lyle Shelton
1180
28
With brand church tarnished by child sex abuse and a perception of us only speaking negatively in the
public square on narrow issues such as same-sex marriage, a conference was convened in Sydney this week
to look for answers.
1185
Called Re: Thinking a Public Faith, it was organised by World Vision, the Centre for Public Christianity
(CPX) and Arrow Leadership.
The keynote speaker was Yale theologian professor Miroslov Volf (left), who appeared on the ABC1s Q&A
program on Monday night.
1190
This was a challenging conference for me to be at because it might be said that ACLs involvement in the
public debate about changing the definition of marriage might at times have contributed to some of the
brand damage.
ACL has worked on a broad range of issues but the push to redefine marriage with 11 unsuccessful legislative
attempts in the past three years has fuelled perceptions that its the only issue we care about.
One of the main messages of the conference was that we are in a post Christian society a metaphorical
pagan Athens, not theocratic Jerusalem and the sooner Christians get used to this idea the better.
1195
Personally I wonder whether our failure to be all that Jesus intended his church to be to the world and to each
other means that Babylonian captivity is perhaps a more appropriate analogy for our current predicament.
But the good news from the Bible is that Gods purposes for his people have never been constrained whether
in Babylon or Athens or Rome for that matter.
1200
As Volf said on Q&A, Christianity is at its best when it comes from the margins, not the seat of political
power.
Daniel, a Hebrew slave in Nebuchadnezzars court had influence that changed a world empire.
CPXs John Dickson pointed out that the Apostle Paul locked in Roman prisons did some of his most
effective work there for the spread of the gospel, despite his chains.
1205
Pagan and secular states have often done their best (and worst) to suppress the message of Jesus to no long
term avail.
Another speaker, ABC managing director Mark Scott himself a committed Christian said the media is not
so much hostile to Christianity as indifferent.
It was hostile to some of the narrow agendas Christians are perceived to be pursuing, he said.
1210
This is fair comment although I often wonder why it is sometimes difficult to get the media to focus on
evidence that does not suit a particular narrative they are pursuing, but that is a discussion for another day.
Another speaker, a Christian from the corporate world, talked about how his business has been reengineered
to solve unsolvable problems and how this renewed sense of purpose had energised staff, tapping into a
human yearning for more than KPIs.
1215
I think this points to something great the church has to offer in terms of providing meaning to peoples lives
as we see problems in the world.
Solving unsolvable problems will sometimes involve speaking unpopular truths in the public square as well
as rolling up our sleeves to help the most marginalised.
Volf painted a vision of a pluralist society where all religions are given space to proclaim, practice and
manifest publicly their beliefs under a common roof of a religiously neutral state.
1220
This is fine but we must also be aware that this idea is not embraced with good faith by all players at this
point in time.
While we might be post Christian, our society still enjoys the fruits of its Christian roots even as it chops at
these very roots.

Christianity may well be heading for further marginalisation.
1225
For this we have examples in Daniel, Jesus and Paul. Daniel refused to bow to the emperors decree limiting
his religious freedom.
Jesus and Paul ran foul of political authorities because they said there was another Lord and it wasnt Caesar.
Early Christians were killed in their tens of thousands because of this.
As Volf rightly said, our first allegiance as Christians lies beyond the political state.
1230
His final lecture today on reconciliation was a beautiful treatise on a concept that has the potential to unlock
truth, justice and a pathway to restored relationship in our polity which runs counter-cultural to our
adversarial political system.
The Bible and history show that, despite the many faults of its adherents, the Jesus cult at its best will always
be there for the common good of the material world and for human flourishing.
1235
1240
Every summer we see images of Sea Shepherd vessels ramming Japanese whalers in the Southern Ocean.
None of us like watching pictures on our televisions of bloodied whales being dragged aboard what the
Japanese government claims are scientific research ships.
1245
There is no doubt the actions of Sea Shepherd are dangerous and illegal under maritime law yet there is little
or no condemnation of their action.
There is certainly no legal sanction of Sea Shepherd and probably secret admiration by many people for their
commitment to their cause.
Protesting with violent action against whalers is accepted.
1250
I cant see a place for violent protest but when it comes to dissenting to the termination of pre-born
babies, even peaceful protest is severely restricted in one Australian state.
Graham Preston, a serial peaceful protester outside Queensland abortion clinics, recently flew to Tasmania to
test that states new anti-protest laws.
1255
Not content with legalising abortion to birth even where there is a healthy mother and a healthy baby, the
authors of Tasmanias laws sought to restrict peaceful protest, making it an offence to protest within 150
metres of a clinic.
Preston deliberately put himself in a position where he would fall foul of these laws and he did.

Tasmanias new Catholic archbishop Julian Porteous, who began his role September, has in a recent blog sent
a strong message about the need for Christian engagement in the public square. He points out three
foundations of society currently under great threat the sacredness of life, the true nature of marriage and
family, and religious freedom.
Archbishop Porteous strongly endorses the need for Christians to be active in ensuring orchestrated
campaigns by a small motivated minority groups do not reshape society for the worse, pointing to the Jesus
admonition for his followers to be salt and light in the world. This article is well worth sharing around.

Violence against Coptic Christians has escalated in Egypt since the Muslim Brotherhood came to power. In

made against the new pope in Alexandria. Christian women have also been sexually harassed and abused on
the streets of Cairo, and shops and homes in Christian villages have been graffitied and vandalised.
The ACL has long advocated for greater action to be taken by the Australian government to ensure the
protection and safety of such vulnerable minority groups. Earlier this year, the ACL urged the government to
condemn these attacks and to put pressure on Egyptian leaders to uphold freedom of religion in the country.

This last week of the Parliamentary term saw a bill quietly pass that has big implications for freedom of
religion in the future.
1345
Called the (image not included) (Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Intersex Status) Bill 2013, it
removes religious exemptions for Commonwealth aged-care providers to preference a married couple over an
unmarried couple or a heterosexual over a homosexual resident.
Some aged care facilities run by faith organisations treasure their ethos and want to be free to preserve this.
The so-called exemptions in law were put their decades ago to balance societys desire to eliminate
unjustified discrimination but at the same time protect religious freedom.
1350
1355
1360
Commenting on the passing of the legislation in the House of Representatives, Attorney-General Mark
Dreyfus QC said The Government is proud to have passed this historic Bill, which is an important step
towards equality for all Australians, regardless of their sexuality or gender identity.
However, the ACL questions why this legislation was pursued when no examples of actual discrimination
have actually been put forward. ACL understands its the practice of many faith-based aged-care providers to
help and look after elderly people regardless of their sexuality. It was nothing but a stalking horse to pursue
this legislation and instead sets up a precedent for other religious exemptions to be challenged in the future. If
Commonwealth-funded faith-based aged care providers lose the right to positively select clients in
accordance with the principles of their faith, will other faith-based organisations similarly lose their religious
freedom? Will Christian schools, for example, continue to be able to hire staff who adhere to the values of the
organisation?
The Coalition is to be applauded for opposing the amendment which challenged the principle of religious
freedom which is a fundamental human right, protected in international human rights law with the
International Covenant of Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). The principle was articulated by Shadow
Shadow Attorney-General George Brandis on ABC1s Q&A on Monday night.
1365
1370
1375
1380
1385
1390
ALASTAIR LAWRIE: My question is to Senator Brandis. Last Tuesday you announced that the Coalition
would block any LGBIT anti-discrimination bill that did not allow religious aged-care service providers to
discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. This is despite the fact that these agencies
themselves do not believe they need this exception. You seem to be putting a theoretical religious freedom
above practical protections. Why dont you believe that older lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and transgender
Australians, people who have grown up when their love was criminalised, who lost friends and lovers to HIV
and AIDS, have the right to grow old in dignity and respect that they deserve?
GEORGE BRANDIS: It is a very important question that you ask and let me explain what the Oppositions
position is. But there was one statement in your question which wasnt quite right. You said that the religious
institutions, the churches, didnt themselves want the exemption so far as concerned aged care facilities.
Thats not right. Some said they didnt want it. Most said they did. So dont be misled by a misleading
statement by the Attorney-General. On the broader issue, when the bill, the sex discrimination bill, was
introduced into the Parliament, I took a submission to the Shadow Cabinet and to our party room which was,
I think without a dissenting voice, endorsed that we should support it. And the reason we support it is because
it is actually the policy we took to the 2010 election, that the provisions of the Sex Discrimination Act should
extend to sexuality as a protected attribute. The Government knew that they had the Opposition on board
with this. In fact, the Governments measure was itself taken from the Oppositions report on the broader
human rights and anti-discrimination bill, the bill that was abandoned by the Government earlier this year
because it was acknowledged to have gone way too far. So we had, on this very tricky and important issue of
discrimination against gay people, we had bipartisanship and unanimity. And then into the middle of this
harmonious bipartisan moment, the Labor Party, out of the blue, threw in an amendment never
anticipated, never expected, that would have caused the religious exemption issue to come into play. Now,
if you want to build a consensus around this issue, that gay people should be protected from discrimination
by the Sex Discrimination Act, then you would not have done that and the Labor Party, on all other grounds,
in all other arenas, has said that it will respect the religious exemption. I am cynical about why the Labor
Party did that
TONY JONES: Okay, George.
GEORGE BRANDIS: knowing that by introducing the religious exemption, it would make it impossible for
that bipartisanship to continue.

TONY JONES: George Brandis, the questioner has his hand up so well go back to you.
1395
1400
ALASTAIR LAWRIE: I would just like to pick up a point you seem to be making. In Senator Humphreys
dissenting report to the sex discrimination senate inquiry, the two organisations that he quoted justifying the
call for religious exception in that circumstance were the Australian Christian Lobby and the Catholic
Womens League. Neither of them provide religious aged care services. So in that circumstance, why are we
trying to impose a religious exception to the detriment of older LGBT people for those groups that dont
actually run those services?
GEORGE BRANDIS: Well, Im very familiar with that minority report because I was one of the signatories to
it and I had a lot to do with drafting it. There were many more submissions to the inquiry from other
churches and religious institutions than those two. So dont infer that because those two were mentioned as a
For example, those were the only ones, because they werent.
1405
TONY JONES: Okay. George, I would like the hear other people on this subject. Anne Summers?
1410
ANN SUMMERS: Well, Im afraid I dont know much about the legislation. I mean I just obviously would
support the principle that LGBT people should be able to go to retirement homes and nursing homes free
from any form of discrimination, which I take to be the central point and I know that, you know, one of the
problems with homes that are run by some religions is they have been discriminatory in the past and I
imagine what we are trying to avoid is the continuation of that discrimination and I would support that.
TONY JONES: Yeah, very briefly, George, before I go back to the other panelists, shouldnt antidiscrimination be universal?
GEORGE BRANDIS: No.
TONY JONES: Why shouldnt it?
1415
GEORGE BRANDIS: Anti-discrimination laws should not be universal because the right to fair treatment is
one of several very important but sometimes inconsistent values. The right of people who practice or profess
a particular religious faith to live their lives and to conduct their institutions in accordance with the precepts
of their religious faith is integral to religious freedom and religious freedom is also a fundamentally
important value.
1420
1425
GEORGE BRANDIS: Yes, I am, as a matter of fact. Yes, I am. But I am also making a political point. There
are we in the Liberal Party have joined with people in the Labor Party to progress this agenda for years
and those who wanted to see the Sex Discrimination Act extend to protect people on the grounds of their
sexuality were furious that the Labor Party decided to throw in a curve ball into the debate that deprived the
country of the opportunity for unanimity on this.

Amendments to anti-discrimination legislation in Tasmania would have serious implications for freedom of

Proposed changes to the Anti-Discrimination Act 1988, which will likely be debated in the upper house
tomorrow, would expand the prohibition of conduct that offends, humiliates, intimidates, insults or
ridicules.
1440
ACLs Tasmanian Director Mark Brown said such changes would threaten free speech and open dialogue,
and increase unnecessary litigation.
ACL certainly objects to behaviour that incites hatred or ridicules another but to open the prohibition of
offence to things like religious or political belief or sexual orientation is a threat to freedom of speech, he
said.
1445
Who doesnt get offended or insulted at times by others difference of opinion? This is part of living in a
democracy, he said.
Mr Brown also said that legislators should ensure anti-discrimination laws respect fundamental and universal
human rights to freedom of thought conscience and religion.
1450
Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights clearly states that everyone has the right to
freedom of thought, conscience and religion he said.
In a country like Australia which prides itself on tolerance in a multicultural society, these changes would
only undermine tolerance and robust political debate would be inhibited.
1455
In the last few months, Tasmanians have debated numerous social issues which bought out diverse opinion,
much of which surely offended people. Surely the government does not expect all such offences be put before
the legal system, Mr Brown said.

Chris Bowen raises plight of Egypts coptic community in parliament
1460
1465

1480
Tonight I wish to raise in the House of Representatives the plight of the Copts of Egypt. Copts make up
between five and 10 per cent of Egypts population, but they are suffering persecution and they are suffering
violence as a growing concern. Copts have always been a group in Egypt who has been at risk but now we
are seeing the Coptic community having their property stolen or destroyed, their members harassed and
beaten, and their places of worship burnt or demolished. Due to a recent increase in tax, we have seen an
estimated 100,000 Coptic people leave the nation of Egypt.
Now it is very clear that there is an obligation on every government of every nation of the world to provide
protection to its citizens, protection regardless of race or religion. That obligation of protection of citizens
falls on the government of Egypt, just as it falls on every other government in the world. We saw perhaps the
first spectacular outbreak of violence with the Maspero massacre of October 2011, in which Copts staged a
peaceful demonstration outside a local television station. They were protesting against the demolition of a
church in northern Egypt.
By happenstance I was visiting St Mark Coptic church of Arncliffe the next day, and I recall being briefed on
the events in Maspero square the night beforejust before I visited the Church of St Mark in Arncliffe and
talking to the congregation of that church about the Australian governments concerns. We saw the deaths of
more than 20 Coptic Christians in that massacre and the injury of many, many others. We saw St Mark and
Pope Peter church in 2011 being attacked, and more
recently we have seen more attacks on the cathedral of St Mark in Egypt. An attack on a cathedral anywhere
is an attack on cathedrals and on freedom everywhere.
I know that there are many, many people in Australia who are deeply concerned about the situation of Copts
in Egypt, as I am, as other members of the House are and as the government is. I know the foreign minister,

Bob Carr, is very alive to these concerns. I know he has raised the plight of Copts directly with President
Morsi.
I know he has also raised the plight of Christians in the Middle East more generally with former Secretary of
State Clinton, current Secretary of State Kerry and Foreign Secretary Hague. I also think it is important that
Australia uses its role as a member of the UN Security Council to be prosecuting the case for enhanced
protection of Christians in the Middle East. I think the plight of Christians in the Middle East is one of the
worlds crises at the moment that is not receiving enough attention. Clearly the plight of the Copts of Egypt is
one of those situations that is not receiving enough attention, and all members of the House and the other
place would do well to ensure that it receives more attention. I know that former foreign minister Rudd felt
this matter particularly keenly, and he hosted a reception of Copts on his visit to Egypt when he was foreign
minister of Australia.
It has been my great pleasure to work with many members of the Coptic community, to work with Sayedna
Bishop Daniel and Sayedna Bishop Sureil of Melbourne on these issues during my time as both a minister in
the government and as the member for McMahon. I have also worked with the Australian Coptic movement.
I have attended their rallies, including a recent rally in Sydney at Martin Place. We had hoped that the earlier
rallies would be the last. We had hoped that the rallies in 2011 would be the last because we would no longer
need to rally for freedom of religion for the Copts of Egypt. But alas we have had to continue to rally. Alas
we have had to continue to fight and argueand we will continue to do so.
As I said, it is incumbent on all governments to protect their citizens in every regard. It is incumbent on all
governments to ensure that their people can live in peace and freedom and harmony. And the Copts of Egypt
are not currently living in peace and freedom and harmony, and it is incumbent on the government of Egypt
to ensure that they can. In many cases the revolution we have seen in the Middle East has resulted in poor
outcomes, in worse outcomes for Christians. We have seen that in Iraq; we are seeing that now in Egypt. The
Arab Spring has turned to an Arab winter for many, many people in the Middle East. Those people in the
Middle East, in Egypt, and their friends and relatives in Australia, in my electorate and in electorates around
the country need to know they have many friends in the House of Representatives, as indeed they do.

MR: Uncertainty over marriage policy could drive voters to minor parties
Tuesday, 7 May 2013, 10:38:22 AM | ACL Team
1515
MEDIA RELEASE
For release: Tuesday, 7th May 2013
Coalition uncertainty over voting policy on marriage may force many Australians to consider minor parties
who are clear on the issue at the September 14 election, according to the Australian Christian Lobby.
1520
Upper House elections in Tasmania at the weekend which returned pro-marriage candidates showed there is
little appetite for radical social policy such as redefining marriage, ACL Managing Director Lyle Shelton
said.
Those supporting marriage were rewarded at the ballot box after an expensive and high profile campaign
failed to unseat them, Mr Shelton said.
1525
While ACL had welcomed Opposition Leader Tony Abbotts clarity on the issue, it was concerned
proponents of redefining marriage were pressuring Coalition candidates to support watering down Coalition
marriage policy.
ACL was preparing to target key marginal seats in the lead-up to the September 14 election with leaflets to
highlight the social benefits of keeping marriage between a man and a woman.
1530
We want to highlight to the constituency those candidates and parties who support marriage and let voters
know where a candidate is in favour of redefining marriage.
Mr Shelton said it was regrettable that redefining marriage was becoming an election issue so soon after it
was resoundingly defeated in the Australian Parliament last September.
The Parliament has already spoken but if advocates for redefining marriage are so sure of public support,
why dont they back a referendum?

Massive protests in France against the Hollande Government yesterday have been motivated in part by his
legislating a new definition of marriage and UK Prime Minister David Camerons Conservative Party has
suffered an embarrassing setback in local council elections after he supported redefining marriage.
I have great confidence in the ability of Australians, particularly under 35s, to think critically about this
issue as long as an alternative view is allowed to be put in the public debate, Mr Shelton said.
There are consequences in redefining marriage for children, free speech and freedom of religion and this
needs further public discussion.

MR: ACL condemns latest attack against heart of Christianity in Middle East
1580
1585
The Australian Christian Lobby has expressed concern at the latest attack on Coptic Christians in Egypt
which occurred at the epicentre of the International Coptic Orthodox community and has urged the Australian
Government to denounce these attacks.
ACLs Chief of Staff Lyle Shelton said the latest attack against Copts at St Marks Cathedral in Cairo, in
which a person died, was at the headquarters of the Coptic Orthodox Patriarchate.
The Coptic Community in Australia sees this as a symbolic attack on Christianity on Egypt which is
incomprehensible, he said.
1590
No minority in any country should be subjected to fear of expressing their faith. Sadly violence against
Copts has escalated since the Muslim Brotherhood came to power, he said.
It is important that the Prime Ministers Office and Office of the Minister for Foreign Affairs condemns
these attacks today and urges action from the Egyptian Government to protect its citizens and to uphold
freedom of religion.
1595
The Coptic Community is in a minority position in a Muslim country. This is simply another incident in a
long line of suffering for these people by attackers deliberately targeting them for their faith, he said
.

MR: ACL welcomes governments decision to delay anti-discrimination
legislation

Media Release
1615
The Australian Christian Lobby has welcomed todays announcement by Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus to
rework consolidating anti-discrimination laws.
Managing Director Jim Wallace said what had started as a sensible consolidation of anti-discrimination laws
into one had gone well off track threatening freedom of religion and other fundamental human rights.
ACL denounces the overreach in this exercise and particularly the uncertainty around religious freedom
exemptions and the proposal to review them every three years, he said.

Christian schools, charities, hospitals and churches should always be free to positively discriminate in the
hiring of staff in order to protect their ethos and in determining what services they deliver.
1620
It is the shared faith ethos of an organisations people that make it an attractive charity or service provider
and our society would become sterile if this diversity was lost, Mr Wallace said.
Background

The ACL made a submission to the governments consolidation of Anti-Discrimination laws in December

In January 2013 former Attorney-General Nicola Roxon said conduct that insults or offends will be
removed from legislation. ACL said threats to religious freedom still remained.
In February 2013 the senate committee investigating the laws recommended removing religious exemptions
and exceptions from the law. ACL urged the government to reject the recommendation.

MR: Christian Lobby congratulates WA Premier on election win
Saturday, 9 March 2013, 10:05:07 PM | ACL Team
MEDIA RELEASE
For release: Saturday, 9th March 2013
1650
The Australian Christian Lobby has congratulated the Liberal Party on its resounding win in the Western
Australian election and looks forward to the government following through on its commitments to the
Christian constituency.
ACLs WA director Rhys Vallance said Christians welcomed Premier Colin Barnett comments regarding
euthanasia, religious freedom and chaplaincy at last months leaders address attended by more than 800
Christians.
1655
1660
On euthanasia, Mr Barnett reiterated his opposition to creating a legal structure that established a
framework for ending a life and Christians expect this to be honoured in the next four years, Mr Vallance
said.
He also spoke of his support for religious freedom and faith based education when he said freedom of
choice, freedom of religion is fundamental to Australian society and a logical consequence of that is freedom
in education.
On the importance of chaplains in schools Mr Barnett committed an extra $2 million dollars per year for
chaplaincy if re-elected, Mr Vallance said.

Mr Vallance said that in relation to prostitution reform in the state, the ACL would continue to lobby the

The Australian Christian Lobby said tonights Make it Count event with the WA Premier and Opposition
Leader covered major issues of concern for Christians in the lead up to the March 9 th election.
1705
ACLs Chief of Staff Lyle Shelton said Premier Colin Barnetts and Opposition Leader Mark McGowans
addresses and answers to questions at the forum were instructive for people as they considered how they
would vote.
This is the second time weve held a leaders debate here in Perth in the lead up to an election and the
feedback weve had from Christians, churches and Christian organisations is that its invaluable and
important election information, Mr Shelton said.
1710
1715
Mr Shelton said the event was attended by a number of denominations including Catholics, Baptists,
Anglicans, Salvation Army, Seventh Day Adventist, Reformed Church, Free Reform Church, Lutheran,
Apostolic Churches, Australian Christian Churches and Westminster Presbyterians.
He said leaders from churches and faith-based organisations asked a range of questions on the night covering
topics including suicide and mental health, education, chaplaincy, life issues including abortion and
euthanasia, cost-of-living, family, education and indigenous welfare.
Church leaders and faith-based organisations want to engage in the political process and be able to support
those in government, he said.
QUESTIONS at WA Make it Count event
1.
Suicide and mental health Dale Hewitt, Leader of the Apostolic Church in Western Australia.
1720
The current government has rolled out the Suicide Prevention Strategy and has stated an ongoing
commitment to mental health. These are very positive developments. However, the Strategy is programmed
to end in June this year and there is still a great need for services to assist young people with mental health
issues. There is particular concern for the high levels of depression that exists among young people and the
fact that suicide remains an ongoing problem among young people.
1725
What commitments can the Premier and the Leader of the Opposition make that will reassure us that the
mental wellbeing of young people is a priority for their future governments and what plans do they have to
increase support to young people in the area of mental health?
2.
1730
1735
1740
YouthCARE has been providing chaplaincy services to WA public schools for over 30 years. Thousands of
children and others in the school community have benefitted from YouthCAREs unique contribution to the
WA community. At YouthCARE we have appreciated the support which you have given to the organisation
both professionally and personally. My question is this: Can you outline your partys position towards
providing its unwavering support for YouthCAREs chaplaincy services so that public school communities
that want the service will be able to access the service?
3. Abortion human rights for unborn and support for women Anita Parker, Director of Catholic
Youth Ministry Perth.
It has been reported that in Western Australia between 1998 and 2010, 14 babies born after failed abortions
were tragically left to die. Will your party commit to ensuring there is no further erosion of protections in law
for the unborn? Will your party support initiatives that ensure all pregnant women considering abortion are
given information about all options available to them?
4. Cost of living and affordable housing Bishop Sproxton, Auxiliary Bishop Catholic Archdiocese of
Perth
1745
Although a number of West Australian families are doing well from their engagement with the resources
boom, there are others who are facing substantial economic and social problems. Rent and the cost of utilities
have risen considerably over the last four years and are set to increase further. This has placed substantial
strain on individuals and families and many of them are seeking assistance from Church and other welfare
agencies to make ends meet. We are also particularly concerned at the existence of over 20,000 people on the
Department of Housings waiting list and the possibility of a burgeoning of the homeless population.

We are seeking from our political leaders commitments that will address the pain that many individuals and
families are suffering and assurances that greater efforts will be made to resolve the shortage and cost of
housing in Western Australia.
5. Prostitution and the exploitation of women by men Michelle Pearse, Former ACL Spokesperson
on Human Trafficking and Prostitution.
1755
1760
Four years ago at this event, the then Opposition Leader and now Premier promised a new approach to
prostitution reform would be investigated. The model known as the Swedish model after the country which
first spear-headed reform targets the demand by criminalising the purchase of sex. Unfortunately the
Swedish model was rejected even though no one from WA went to Sweden to examine the evidence before
the Prostitution Bill was introduced into the WA Parliament. Amongst the evidence of the success of the
Swedish model is a study by the European Parliament finding that Sweden is an unattractive destination for
the trafficking of women because a key driver of demand for the exploitation of women is addressed. The
model has been adopted by other Nordic countries.
Will your Party commit to sending a Parliamentary delegation to the Nordic countries which have adopted
the Swedish model to examine the evidence before any further legislation dealing with prostitution is
considered by the WA Parliament?
1765
6.
Marriage Warnar Spyker, Acting Chair, Association for Reformed Political Action
Among the consequences of redefining marriage is that it by design separates children from one of their
biological parents, and denies some children the blessings of having both a mother and a father. Will you and
your party commit to supporting the current definition of marriage?
1770
7. Christian education and freedom of religion Dr. Ray Dallin, State Executive Officer WA,
Christian Schools Australia
What is your vision for Education in WA and how committed and prepared are you to stand up for and
defend the right of Christian schools to offer a Christian education that is consistent with their Christian
beliefs and to employ staff who are also committed to these beliefs? Will you rule out changes to antidiscrimination laws which limit freedom of religion?
1775
8. Indigenous Welfare Glenn Townend, President of the Western Australian Conference of the
Seventh Day Adventist Church
The gap between indigenous and non-indigenous life expectancy, education and development shows more
work needs to be done. What will your party do to improve the welfare of Indigenous Australians?
9. Euthanasia Ken Lee, Executive Member, Australian Christian Churches, Western Australia
1780
Despite claims by proponents of euthanasia that it can be made safe from abuse, examples of the laws being
used to kill people who are not terminally ill continue to arise, most recently in Belgium where twins who
were not terminally ill used the law to have themselves killed by a doctor. A woman with anorexia nervosa
also recently died by euthanasia in Belgium. Will you oppose any attempt to put vulnerable people who are
old and or depressed at risk by legalising euthanasia? Will you commit to better resourcing palliative care?
1785
10. Outdoor advertising Nick Scott, Senior Pastor Mount Pleasant Baptist Church
With the increasing number of sexualised billboards displayed in prominent public places children are being
exposed to inappropriate messaging and graphic images at an early age.
Will your party commit to working with the Commonwealth to ensure outdoor advertising does not exceed
the equivalent of a G rating?

As I stated at the commencement: How on earth could anyone determine Unless a parent
has a deeply held religious view where constitutionally this is prohibited?

Are you going to engage religious persons to determine who has or has not in his/her opinion a
deeply held religious view? How do you asses a secular belief?
To select a person itself may be considered a infringement upon s116 of the constitution where
this is for purpose of an unconstitutional discrimination on basis of belief of a person.

In my view the better way to go about is to provide appropriate information to all parents prior to
any immunization to be considered regarding children who have died after birth, the ages at the

make an informed decision.
As long as you and other Ministers, etc, show a blatant disregard to communicate appropriately
with me regarding constitutional issues it cannot be held that you and others are genuinely
seeking to address the matters. And, if in the end a child were to die because of the pressure the
Commonwealth has placed upon a parent to force immunisations then those involved may have a
problem to defend any personal liability.

Sir EDWARD BRADDON (Tasmania).-I have an amendment to move on behalf of Tasmania, and also an
amendment of my own. The clause we have before us says that a state shall not make any law prohibiting the free
exercise of any religion. It is quite possible that this might make lawfull practices which would otherwise be strictly
prohibited. Take, for instance, the Hindoos. One of their religious rites is the "suttee," and another is the
"churruck,"-one meaning simply murder, and the other barbarous cruelty, to the devotees who offer
themselves for the sacrifice.
Dr. COCKBURN.-The Thugs are a religious sect.
Sir EDWARD BRADDON.-Yes. If this is to be the law, these people will be able to practise the rites of their
religion, and the amendment I have to suggest is the insertion of some such words as these:-
1875
But shall prevent the performance of any such religious rites, as are of a cruel or demoralizing character or
contrary to the law of the Commonwealth.

Mr. FRASER (Victoria).-I think that if we give the right to an infinitesimal minority to come here and
indulge in extraordinary practices, under the pretence that this is a new religion, we may have all the theatres
and all the music-halls in Australia open on Sundays. If that is possible we ought to do what we can to provide
against it.
Mr. HIGGINS (Victoria).-I want if I can to recommend the Commonwealth Bill and get it carried. But why
should we be faced with this difficulty? You have put in the preamble a religious recital which is not in the
Constitution of the United States of America, but you have not put in the safeguard against religious intolerance
which they have there. I ask honorable members how I shall face that difficulty? There is a grave suspicion
evidenced by what I said that there were 36,000 distinct signatures upon this very point. I do not think it is too much
for me to say that we ought to reassure those persons. They may be wrong. It may be right, as my friend (Mr.
Barton) says, that there is no power by implication in the Commonwealth to pass this law. It may be right as he says,
that the Commonwealth ought to have the power. But I only say that it is a state matter, and it should be left to the
states. My honorable friend (Mr. Fraser), with all respect to him, shows the current ignorance on this matter because
he will not understand that the state, if my proposal is carried, will have the same power as it has now to stop any
theatrical performances on Sunday.

Mr. BARTON.-I do not think the fact that we may be held by law to be a Christian community is any
reason for us to anticipate that there will be any longer any fear of a reign of Christian persecution-any fear
that there will be any remnant of the old ideas which have caused so much trouble in other ages. The whole
of the advancement in English-speaking communities, under English laws and English institutions, has shown
a less and less inclination to pass laws for imposing religious tests, or exacting religious observances, or to
maintain any religion. We have not done that in Australia. We have abolished state religion in all these
colonies; we have wiped out every religious test, and we propose now to establish a Government and a
Parliament which will be at least as enlightened as the Governments and Parliaments which prevail in various

states; therefore, what is the practical fear against which we are fighting? That is the difficulty I have in
relation to this proposed clause. If I thought there was any-the least-probability or possibility, taking into
consideration the advancement of liberal and tolerant ideas that is constantly going on of any of these various
communities utterly and entirely retracing its steps, I might be with the honorable member. If we, in these
communities in which we live, have no right whatever to anticipate a return of methods which were practised
under a different state or Constitution, under a less liberal measure of progress and advancement; if, as this
progress goes on, the rights of citizenship are more respected; if the divorce between Church and State
becomes more pronounced; if we have no fear of a recurrence of either the ideas or the methods of former
days with respect to these colonies, then I do suggest that in framing a Constitution for the Commonwealth of
Australia, which we expect to make at least as enlightened, and which we expect to be administered with as
much intellectuality as any of the other Constitutions, we are not going to entertain fears in respect of the
Commonwealth which we will not attempt to entertain with respect to any one of the states. Now, we have
shown that we do not intend these words to apply to our states by striking out clause 109. That might be a
provision that might be held to be too express in its terms, because there may be practices in various
religions which are believed in by persons who may enter into the Commonwealth belonging to other
races, which practices would be totally abhorrent to the ideas, not only to any Christian, but to any
civilized community; and inasmuch as the Commonwealth is armed with the power of legislation in
regard to immigration and emigration, and with regard to naturalization, and also with regard to the
making of special laws for any race, except the aboriginal races belonging to any state-inasmuch as we
have all these provisions under which it would be an advisable thing that the Commonwealth, under its
regulative power, should prevent any practices from taking place which are abhorrent to the ideas of
humanity and justice of the community; and inasmuch as it is a reasonable thing that these outrages on
humanity and justice (if they ever occur) should be prohibited by the Commonwealth, it would be a
dangerous thing, perhaps, to place in the Bill a provision which would take out [start page 1772] of their
hands the power of preventing any such practices.

Mr. HIGGINS.-Do you think that the Commonwealth has that power under the existing Bill?

Many children arrive on boats who may never had any immunisations!

Let us be clear about it the commonwealth has no constitutional powers to force anyone to
subject to immunisations, other than that it can require this from people coming from other
countries as a condition of entry to have had certain vaccinations. However, Australians residing
within the Commonwealth of Australia cannot be subjected to compulsory vaccinations and
using a form of extortion/terrorism as to deny taxation benefits I view is unconstitutional.

As the Framers of the Constitution made clear the States could legislate as to religion but in a
manner not to undermine the constitutional embedded legal principle of religious liberty.

Even if the Commonwealth were to unilaterally refuse to apply any kind of religious exemption,
then I view as a CONSTITUTIONALIST it still couldnt bar taxation relief for parents who
have not vaccinated their children, this is because the Commonwealth cannot achieve indirectly
something that it cannot achieve directly due to the lack of legislative powers.

I cannot accept that the refusal of taxation relief to a parent for not having vaccinated a child can
be lawful and as such the denial of taxation relief would I view constitute an act of terrorism
upon the parent. This as terrorism generally is to terrorise a person in some manner to subject it
to do something or not to do something that the person ordinary is entitled to do or not to do.
