Good morning ,
As our lead story indicates, the premier state of New South Wales has a
Labor govt seemingly intent on giving even more privilege to the already-favoured religious lobby there. And it's not just state governments.
And at a federal level, education minister Jason Clare is sponsoring a Faith-Based Higher Education summit: "A booming faith-based secondary education sector, now teaching around 50% of all secondary students in some major cities, has dramatically increased demand for diverse tertiary pathways with a
faith ethos". And representatives are lobbying for increased funding and "religious freedom".
So much for Labor being a champion of genuine secularism. Shame on them.
