Listen to me talk about the #ReligiousDiscriminationBill https://t.co/PwoNuepX83

[Dr Renae Barker @RenaeLBarker]

When you just want to spend your day off with your kid but you can't escape work because the rest of the country seems to be talking about it #ReligiousDiscriminationBill

[Dr Renae Barker @RenaeLBarker]

@HollyCullenfreo Hmmm, that religion sounds fun ... ( oh and legitimate it is actually a really interesting and important part of my discipline!)

[Dr Renae Barker @RenaeLBarker]

@HollyCullenfreo I can read this BUT that is because I know my brain works differently. I may be know good at spelling but at least I make an effort

[Dr Renae Barker @RenaeLBarker]

@LiamElphick_ I started on my submission today, as well as finishing off a piece for @ABCReligion and I have also promised to write a piece on the bill for an international blog on law and religion. It is going to be a busy few weeks

[Dr Renae Barker @RenaeLBarker]

@LiamElphick_ Tell me about it

[Dr Renae Barker @RenaeLBarker]

My contribution to the Religious Dincrimination Bill debate https://t.co/1E4MUtul6G #lawandreligion #Churchabdstate #freedomofreligion #discriminationlaw #religiousdiscrimination #religiousdiscriminationbill

[Dr Renae Barker @RenaeLBarker]

@LiamElphick_ She at least seems to get the fact we just need the basics for religious discrimination and that it is about protecting minorities not Christian privilege.

[Dr Renae Barker @RenaeLBarker]

@LiamElphick_ Agreed. But spread the blame around to a pretty shit AG too.

[Dr Renae Barker @RenaeLBarker]

@LiamElphick_ While I am loath to defend the PM his previous AG did a pretty shot job with the first drafts and then got interrupted by a pandemic
