THE Australian Christian Lobby (ACL) has alerted Queenslanders to plans by the Queensland Government Department of Justice and Attorney General (DJAG) has invited feedback from Queenslanders on a proposed new Anti-Discrimination Bill 2024 which will restrict the practice of religious belief and activity in work and education.
The Bill would give the Queensland Labor Party the opportunity to repeat the actions of the ACT Labor-Green coalition who ruthlessly and dishonestly, by legislation, seized the Calvary Hospital, a Catholic institution, last year. The 44-year-old hospital was established before the ACT government.
Calvary Public Hospital was funded by the ACT government and operated as a Catholic healthcare provider under the Sisters of the Little Company of Mary. Labor and the Greens despised the hospital because if refused to provide abortions or “full reproductive health services in accordance with human rights”.
Meanwhile Queensland Labor has given Queenslanders only until 5pm Friday 22 March to respond. They plan to push their new proposals through before the election in October. This legislation is the moral equivalent of a fire department being forced to employ arsonists.
The ACL says a stated purpose of the bill is to remove key exceptions for religious bodies which allow them to hire and operate according to their faith and ethos. Theoretically a religious school could be prosecuted for employing a person advocating faith in preference to a militant atheist.
“The Queensland Government want to dictate whether or not a position in a Christian school requires a person who conforms to the faith of the organisation, or whether it sits outside that purview,” warns the ACL’s Queensland state director Rob Norman.
“The new Act would prohibit faith-based schools and organisations from the right to select staff who align with their religious belief, unless it is deemed that observance of the religion is a genuine occupational requirement.
“A science teacher is used as an example of someone who would not need to be an adherent of the faith of the school. This entirely misses the point of Christianity which is a lived faith – we teach by word and life and example. Every subject in a school curriculum is relevant to a Christian worldview, not just chapel or religious instruction classes.”
The ACL, which represents many Christian denominations in the political sphere, maintains Christianity is a living faith. “It is not something that can be privatised, or sectioned, excluded in our workplace and educational institutions. Christian beliefs shape our values, our character and our convictions in every area of life,” Mr Norman said.
He said the Queensland Government’s discussion paper says they want to strike the right balance, and yet go on to state that, “in order to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of others, the freedom to manifest religion or belief (which includes through religious instruction, worship, observance and practice) may be subject to restriction.”
“It’s important that we let the Queensland Government and the Queensland Human Rights Commission that there is no hierarchy of human rights. All human rights have equal status.,” he said.
“The Queensland government seem intent on restricting freedom of religion in our State. Please speak up for freedom of belief and conscience, for parents to have the right to choose their child’s education, and for Queensland to remain free to practice and share your faith.”
The ACL urges supporters to this link to send a quick email voicing your concern to the Premier, the Attorney General, the Opposition Leader and Shadow Attorney General, along with your local member.
A major religious freedom issue pursued by the ACL arose in the Australian Capital Territory when the government there “compulsorily acquired “ the Calvary Hospital run by the Catholic Church.
The Hospital’s injunction to stop the takeover by the ACT Government was dismissed by the Supreme Court last year, and according to the ACL the decision revealed that the ordinary person or business has little to no protection against a state determined to impose its ideological views on its people.
“This takeover is just the latest example of the urgent need to defend religious freedom in Australia. Together, we must continue to oppose any attempt by governments to seize control of faith-based institutions and erode religious freedom,” the ACL said.
Lindseymonds,
Sorry but all religion is pagan especially the Christians who in Scripture is denoted as the nicolaitans.. you can do your research on that. Christians follow many pagan, manmade traditions like Sunday worship, birthday’s, christmas, Easter which are all completely pagan, so is the grace doctrine and following man. Christians are not exempt with the amount of pagan worship they delve into. If you read in Revelation sorcery and witchcraft is denoted to pharmakeia, pharmaceutical, medicine. So if any christian is delving and partaking in that, they are not exempt. Christianity is the daughter of catholicism. Catholicism is the root, what do Scriptures teach about cutting things are the root that are evil? Ain’t no good come from that. The name jesus is only 500 years old, the letter j still to this day dies not exist in Hebrew or ancient Hebrew, it never did! So who are these christians calling upon 🤔
His Name is Yahusha and you can not transliterate His Name. Christians are just as pagan as any other.
No-one seems to have said it, folks, but it has to be said.
Take a good look at that endearing headline photo of the happy children all radiating health and life.
That’s what we’re fighting for, it’s WHO we’re fighting for, folks.
If we don’t grow some BACKBONES and stand up to the sold-out baby-eating Globalist-owned BASTARDS that are so determined to DESTROY OUR COUNTRY and KILL US ALL, then those children and ALL FUTURE AUSTRALIAN GENERATIONS will be lost either to early graves or to Hell on Earth.
Even after Europe’s famous nineteenth century philosophical debates, the separation of Church and State is still unrealised: the leaders of both groups seem somewhat attracted to, or dependent on one another.
In Europe the majority of the population still think religion should be autonomous and kept separate from the State.

One would presume Ozzie polls reveal similar results?
John Wilson, said: “Our so-called “Representatives” in our Parliaments must be told that JURIES R US and We the People are the Juries in our Courts who will NULLIFY BAD LAWS, without hesitation, and administer Justice to protect our rights and punished the wrong-doers. This is called DEMOCRACY!
Thanks for the info.
They have been told, the Courts have been told, many times, over many years. All ignored, not recognized, not our jurisdiction, etc, etc.
You mention our Courts, we the people have no Courts. Common Law is ignored. The Courts are there to administer contract law / legislation, for the Corporations, not for us.
There is no Justice unless the shonky Governments and Corporate Courts
want to give us a small win so we think there is Justice.
Democracy has very nearly disappeared in Australia, shonky legislation/laws/courts are ready to take total control of our lives.
There is what should be and there is reality.
Until the shonky systems are dismantled we will continue on our journey to having nothing, being unhappy and enslaved, or culled.
Reality can be very sad.

“Common Law doth control Acts of Parliament and adjudges them when against common right to be void” – Lord Edward Coke. Sovereignty lies with the People, ie: “the ultimate authority to make and impose laws”. Our so-called “Representatives” in our Parliaments must be told that JURIES R US and We the People are the Juries in our Courts who will NULLIFY BAD LAWS, without hesitation, and administer Justice to protect our rights and punished the wrong-doers. This is called DEMOCRACY!
The Presbyterian Church, Mormons and others ran churches across Queensland and other states for Aborigines going way back to school teacher Nancy Bates in the south and Presbyterian ministers in Far North Qld early in the 19th century. These essentially were missions established by Churches and children were taught to read and write.Editor
The UK is a lot further down the UN Global Compact on Migration policy and Open Borders for Mass Migration than we are. And how is that Diversity working for them?

@tonyryan43 I am sure BRICs nations of the emergent Communist World Order and Soviet – which will be centred in Eurasia – are very well aware of the exact percent (and it won’t be high) of the Australian military budget designated for the actual defense of the Australian mainland.
And this must change. In budget breakdown, the highest percent of the Australian military budget must be designated for the defense of the Australian mainland.
The Gang of Four corprate pretender gov’t / assets of the Communist Revolution are working up a sweat to degrade Australian sovereignty and get us structured under the UN.
They may even have signed away Australian sovereignty when they committed to Agenda 21. The BRICs have already achieved UN statehood status.
Dandy, I must have misread your last paragraph.
Seems everything tastes like chicken except meat
To Dave Coleman
You’d have to ask a Satanist but I’m told they taste like chicken.
Cannibalism is nothing new even in ‘civilised’ Societies.
That was meant to be to Dandy.
Hey Sandy, what do babies taste like?
The original Australian Constitution already allows full freedom of religion, and State laws are required to be the same as, under or less than Federal Laws. However Gough Whitlam and others before him either ignored Constitutional law to varying degrees or changed it to suit themselves, but this is not allowed under the original Constitution and requires referendums on any and every issue that alters the Constitution ( and therefore all that it holds sacred), so laws cannot be added or altered by government without referendums on every issue brought up.
And…Queen Victoria was our last officially recognized Monarch according to law and recognized tradition, so when She died just 22 days after Federation, all law making was frozen in time, and so the original version of our great Constitution is the only one we can comply with. No laws made since Her death are lawfully installed by Her choice of Governor General who has live Letters Patent from the Monarch of Great Britain and Ireland.
This Monarch and Her Title no longer exist, so Australia has not had a Monarch since 22nd January 1901.
BUT…. we need a correctly and powerfully functioning Common Law Court to enforce this system of law over the top of the Admiralty/Maritime Law and judiciary that the unlawfully corporatised government of Australia has employed without any authority to do so.
Then all this unlawful rubbish will just go away as it has no authority to exist.
Meh. Schools are Govt indoctrination camps, and Jesus taught that the new Church would be build inside those of faith who believed in Him (ie: you are the temple of the Holy Ghost). You don’t need schools and churches.
Lots of well-meaning and intelligent discussion of the headline issue here.
Quoting the article – “… a proposed new Anti-Discrimination Bill 2024 which will restrict the practice of religious belief and activity in work and education.”
IMO, therein lies the issue at the HEART of this move by the Luciferian stooges masquerading as the QLD “government”.
CHOICE.
It’s NOT an issue of “funding” or whether the fake corporate “government” has any legitimate role in adjusdicating the “need” for religious schools and hospitals etc. That’s just a smoke-screen, a Red Herring, a Strawman, a Trojan Horse by which to accomplish the REAL OBJECTIVE.
The issue is CHOICE, and whether religiously inclined people have the right to educate their own children according to their own particular world view, and whether they have the right to establish and staff the institutions to accomplish that.
Just to take a step back, consider the implications for HOME SCHOOLING. And don’t think the Muslim and OTHER faiths will be immune to the Luciferian dragnet. This is all about the fake corporate “government” HIJACKING complete control of YOUR CHILDREN, folks.
The ONLY “religious” beliefs and activities permitted by the ruling psychopaths will be the LUCIFERIAN variety, complete with INCLUSIVE Drag Queen Story Hour waving genitalia in children’s faces and grooming them for PAEDOPHILIA and urging ALL the kiddies to have state-funded SEX CHANGE OPERATIONS at the EARLIEST opportunity IN SECRET. And all the WOKE GLOBALIST PROPAGANDA that they can shovel down your children’s throats, as well as SNITCHING on their parents to the Luciferian agents RUNNING THE SCHOOLS.
If people who prefer denominational schools and hospitals have to FUND them from their own resources, then so be it. That’s NOT what is in question or is at stake here, folks.
CHOICE, folks. Do we have the right to CHOOSE how our children are educated, and establish our own schools accordingly? Do we have the right to CHOOSE the protocols that are applied to us when obliged to visit a hospital, and set up our own hospitals when existing hospitals fail those expectations? And so on.
That last one is a BIGGIE, folks. How many people did the hospitals EXECUTE for PROFIT under mass-murdering Globalist instructions during the fake Corona Chan “pandemic”? Many thousands, folks, right here in Australian hospitals and nursing homes, all right under the noses of their families and ruthlessly enforced by those HIRED MERCENARY GANGSTERS impersonating “police”.
Do you REALLY want to see ALL CHOICE ELIMINATED by this Luciferian power grab? Do you REALLY want to hand the family jewels over to the sold-out baby-eating genocidal ARSEHOLES that presume to “govern” every minute detail of your existence? The very same PSYCHOPATHS that want us all DEAD?
So what Christian churches, organisations exactly are calling for Muslim schools to be closed? Be specific.
The Communist State insists on having $$ in all schools so that they can bring demands. I do not see Muslim or Christian schools going along with the Gaystapo Agenda.
x+767… Excellent discussion, raising many valid points about actual evidence, as opposed to hype. I was uncomfortable with their maps, however, which fail to show that Australia’s military spending is designed to assist the US inflict its military power on the world. Almost none of our defence budget is of use to adctual defence of the Australian mainland. The Pentagon decides what we buy.
BRICS nations need to be aware of this. In fact all “pro-human” nations (to adopt Mikaela’s term) need to be aware of this or we are going to be left hated and abandoned in the Asia-Pacific when the American Empire implodes.
Nobody I have encountered opposes christian schools, as such, but these commenced as alternatives to the state education system (which, by the way, in 1840 was child-minding, not education). The 1950s “Hear the case” campaign called for government to contribute finance to catholic schools.
As it happened, my mother was the president of the Catholic Women’s League and she pointed out that we catholics opt to have a separate education system even though our children arew free to go to state schools. It is unfair, she said, to expect taxpayers to pay for our unnecessary choice.
Obviously this did not go down well with the church hierarchy and it killed the campaign. Decades later, christians got together and succeeded in getting taxpayers to pay for christian schools, As usual, this was initially a modest amount but today, 80% of education sspending is on private schools.
Curiously, when Muslims had their own schools, the christians called for them to be closed, even though they paid themselves, unaided.
To me, it is the same old christian one-eyed demand that the world bow to them. making claims utterly unsupported by history.
Dandy said “If you take money from the devil, it’s never for free.”
Exactly, and it also applies to the farmers who get subsidy from the same LOT. They should be opening McDrive-thru or stalls in their local communities and cut down supply to the supermarkets. That’ll $hurt them conglomerates and the farmer could even get a decent price for their produce.
Neville Thompson, fair question. We reference in the article the fact that churches provided the first schools in Australia and these acted basically as public schools in an era when Christianity was the public norm. Various churches also built hospitals and services like St John’s Ambulance. So churches provided schools and hospitals as services to the community, to put it simply. This goes back centuries in Europe, the Americas and elsewhere. It’s simply a fact of history. Of course in the past century the power and reach of the state has increased vastly, becoming extreme in the form of communist and fascist states.
Christian communities have every right to build and maintain Christian schools. It is irrelevant whether Muslims, pagans, Jews etc think they are suitably ‘Christian’ or not.
Jews, Muslims and of course the Communist state all have their schools and nobody bats an eye. The Communist state maintains public education and Marxist instruction – reserves the right to castrate your child, shame White children for their ‘privilege’ and destroy the rational faculty with Diversity math. Christian schools do not concern the Communist state as long as they want to maintain a ‘freedom of religion’ Party Line. And that, I can assure you, will not be for much longer. And when they drop this Party Line – all schools will be OK, even Gaystapo schools – except of course for Christian schools. This is because, the Communist State has the objective of eradicating ‘even the idea of Christianity’. And all the pagans, Marxists, Jews, Muslims etc will all be OK with that.
Just like everybody pays Halal and Kosher religoius food taxes. And that is just fine.
Why does there need to be religious hospitals and schools and universities ?
If you take money from the devil, it’s never for free.
The ‘christian’ schools are not independent of an atheist satanic government who help pay for their school halls and their extracurricular buildings.
Follow the money.
It’s why ‘christian’ schools did as the atheist satanic government said when it required ‘christian’ school teachers to be injected with an aborted baby cell line known to be part of the ‘covid’ experimental jabs.
If those teachers refused such an offence, they were sacked.
The HUMAN RIGHT to not be injected with something that came from an aborted (aka murdered) baby somehow didn’t matter….in a ‘christian’ school.
‘Christian schools’ lost their way a long time ago, and the oldies that donated to their cause have been long buried.
So perhaps ‘christian’ schools need to go back to their independence which was the original purpose of them in the first place.
I can’t see that happening because ‘christian’ schools are now run by Principals (and teachers) who want bigger and better, and they need government money to do it.
Ye shall know them by their (size).
I would be interested to see if these new atheist satanic government overreaches cross over to the ‘independence’ of Jewish schools and Muslim schools in Queensland as well.
I’m a Satanist but I don’t mind wearing a burka and teaching little ones that Islam isn’t that good…and putting a few little doubts in their little vulnerable minds….
first the ” Catholics” . Vatican….also involved at the same time Nazis….blindfolding the masses…..and we now can see. that two Agendas, however not to underestimate but were pushed so far that our brain had and has to be re wired quick…..This gives me the opportunity to talk to some of the parents as a grandmother…..
The West spends money on military bases, China spends money on development
While several Western countries accuse China as a potential threat to the world, their own spending on military and invasions is astonishing. In this video, research Mikaela Erskog and Gisela Cernadas, who participated in conducting the report Hyper-Imperialism: A Dangerous Decadent New Stage, shared how the US-led military bloc shaped the current world order we live in and how they are losing the game.
You can’t sit in two chairs at the same time – if you get subsidy from the Government, then you should not be surprise that you have to abide its wishes . . . In other words, a Catholic school should be 100% Catholic – do your own things.

Wake up, folks, while you still have time.
From a recent blog post by Martin Armstrong…
“The years going into 2032 will be extremely difficult. The people will need to fight for their rights at every turn, and while the computers show that the elites WILL FAIL, the road to 2032 will be long and torturous.”
The torture is ALREADY HERE, folks. Has been for AT LEAST the last FOUR YEARS.
The LONGER we take to GET ORGANISED and SQUASH these sold-out baby-eating Luciferian bastards, the HARDER it’s going to be.
Eight more years, folks, that’s how much longer we have to SURVIVE this totalitarian anti-Australian Globalist BS. How many Australians’ lives have ALREADY been destroyed, hown many Australians have ALREADY been put in early graves?
There ARE NO “heroes” on White Horses coming to save us, if you want “White Hats” then WE ARE the “White Hats”. Far better to deal with these mongrels starting NOW than to wait ANOTHER four years and let it get a THOUSAND TIMES WORSE.
