And Mantra.... what if a Liberal politician (Say...Tony Abbott) applied for a job within the Labor party, would Gillard knocking them back because they are a Liberal be discrimination also?
Perhaps we should test this theory.
Religious freedom means having the freedom to decide who teaches what at a given religious school.
Of course, you have the freedom to NOT send your child to a school such as this if you please, just as GAY's have a CHOICE not to become 'partnered' in these churches.

Fine - then cults will thrive legally. If you want the freedom to do your own thing - then pay for it. Don't expect handouts from others. You have to pay for exclusivity and those who want it so badly should pay for it the same way the non-religious have to - through taxes.

You can word it how you please, and justify it also... but at the end of the day, it's GUILTY until proven INNOCENT not the other way round as it should be.....back to the 16th century we go...
It works both ways Mel. It might be a 16th century law, but it replaced a 12th century law. That's progressive.

Yet the Greens demand tolerance and acceptance?
Again, would the Greens allow someone like Andrew Bolt to join their party?

If not, why not?

The Greens aren't a religious organisation. They don't discriminate. Would Andrew Bolt like a job working for the Greens?

They've got a few vacancies at the moment. If you've got the credentials - go for it.
