The ALP promised transparency when campaigning for election.
Time to deliver on at least one of your promises @AlboMP @ALeighMP
Stop treating religion with kid gloves. They're grown-ups, they can handle the responsibility.
Or do you think not?

The NSL is proud to be one of the pro-secular organisations calling on the Albanese government to increase transparency in the charities sector by removing special accountability exemptions for "Basic Religious Charities". #auspol

When will politicians stop kow-towing to the conservative religious lobby?
#ReligiousPrivilege is a curse on society.
#auspol
Two federal Labor MPs have told the Sydney Morning Herald that the Albanese government decided not to include a question on LGBTIQ status in the next Census to avoid a possible backlash from faith groups.

It's true Queensland state schools mostly don't educate students about different worldviews, but we're pretty sure he's not interested in Christianity being one of multiple worldviews being taught. He wants (more) #ReligiousPrivilege for his preferred faith.

At a Catholic event last Monday, former PM Tony Abbott lamented the lack of teaching of Gospel stories in public schools & suggested there needed to be an effort to “familiarise” Australians with the New Testament. Watch the event here on YouTube: https://t.co/9RDb7X1h0u

* Upholds #ReligiousPrivilege to allow discrimination by schools
* Upholds religious privilege in "non-religious" #SchoolChaplaincy
* Upholds religious privilege in financial accountability & transparency
A spineless, leadership vacuum where a Prime Minister should be. #auspol
Respect?
Maybe once they pay proper compensation to child rape survivors, stop discriminating against LGBTQI, pay tax on commercial activities & submit the same financial reports as other organisations for full transparency & accountability.
No more #ReligiousPrivilege #auspol
Religious lobbyists are demanding that the Albanese government continue to recognise faith-based charities as “special” and give them “due respect” among all charities in Australia’s charities sector. Read more: https://t.co/TT9pM4c0vG

Anyone else really, REALLY sick of special pleading by religious groups no better than anyone else & demonstrably worse in some cases, e.g. child rape, covering it up & resisting paying compensation?
Yet @AlboMP & Co continue to suck up to them.

@i_iratus A third of state schools are religious and select entry on religious observance. 60% of the uk are not religious. #religiousprivilege
It's a common refrain among those used to #ReligiousPrivilege
#ReligiousInstruction providers, without a hint of irony, claim RI is needed for inclusive education🧐
Unity is not attained by religious segregation nor by impositing religious observance on non-adherents
#auspol
In an @ACLobby video message to Premier @JacintaAllanMP, ACL spokesperson Jasmine Yuen claims the Lord’s Prayer “unites” Australians (umm, no it doesn’t). 100 church pastors & priests are now demanding that the Vic parliament continue to impose daily Christian prayers.

The hypocrisy of the "but I'm a nice Christian" types rears it's ugly head when their #ReligiousPrivilege is poked because, let's face it, some people are more "equal" than others, right Tim?
#auspol
On Christian radio in May, @TimCostello supported "secular" govt in India to protect Christians from the privileging of Hinduism. Yet, in January, he appeared to defend our parliaments privileging Christian prayers – impacting the rights of non-Christians: https://t.co/vPlcFYT7Z5
Is it any surprise to anyone that the Catholic Church & other well known champions of #ReligiousPrivilege are fighting against changes that will yield more accurate data on religious affiliation?
#Census #auspol
In #Rationale magazine, Si Gladman writes on the Catholic Church’s lobbying effort to stop the Australian Bureau of Statistics from changing the religion question in the Census.

It is beneath religious organisations to be treated the same as non-religious organisations, follow the same rules & regulations, be transparent.
They're just so much better than everyone else, don't you know? /s/
#auspol #ReligiousPrivilege
Pushback against anything that challenges #ReligiousPrivilege is always unedifying and simply serves to put a spotlight on religion's oversized sense of entitlement.
Why should religious organisations not comply with the same regulations non-religious entities do?
#auspol
This is disappointing. When actual church attendance, for example, is in single digits, the use of skewed & padded #Census data to justify continuing #ReligiousPrivilege is not inconsequential.
Accuracy is important. No wonder the churches rail against any changes. #auspol
The #Census21 campaign has been lambasted in @johnmenadue by ex-priest & author Paul Collins, who further propagates the inaccuracy that the proposed religious question will sport a 'No' box but not a 'Yes' box. Surely this is not hard to verify. #auspol

@clare_mcivor @si_gladman It's such a basic error, one that is used against people advocating *equal* rights/freedoms in the area of faith & conscience.
#Secularists can be people of faith or no faith; it is not an anti-religious stance, it's an anti-#ReligiousPrivilege stance #auspol
@crikey_news
Well, of course they're not.
The artificially inflated #Census "religious affiliation" figures help hide the fact that actual practising adherents are way lower. It's a threat to their #ReligiousPrivilege #auspol
The ABS is considering changing a key question in the 2026 census — and church groups aren't happy. https://t.co/jMGwrRfy38
@PeterMonkNSL Brisbane church pastor cites statistics from McCrindle, a Christian-run survey company, saying only 6% of Australians *practise* a Christian faith, as he promotes an upcoming "Meet Jesus" event
They'd rather use artificially inflated #Census stats
#auspol #ReligiousPrivilege
Perhaps @mattkeogh could take the word of non-Christians that Christianity-dominated services don't feel welcoming, instead of parroting the self-serving assertions of those who think they're entitled to #ReligiousPrivilege #auspol
“Regrettably, the exclusionary nature of Anzac Dawn Services at the Australian War Memorial risks alienating many Australians…” In #Rationale magazine, @si_gladman writes on the need for secular reform of Anzac Day commemorations.

Betting their version of "secular democracy" entails lashings of #ReligiousPrivilege
They could prove us wrong by advocating for a secular society, though, starting with removal of parliamentary prayers, SRE/RI & religious chaplains in public schools.
#NSWpol #auspol #qldpol
A government faith advisory body that excluded non-religious voices has declared its support for secular democracy that “makes space for people of all faiths and none”, documents obtained under freedom of information reveal. More: https://t.co/ZgQfIX59Qm
#NSWpol @SteveKamperMP
Importance to who?!
Christians, certainly, but councils, parliaments and other elected representative bodies are to be impartial.
Those who would have us believe they are the arbiters of morality fail their own test by seeking such #ReligiousPrivilege solely for themselves!
Faith leaders have for years been pushing for ‘religious freedom’ laws that would privilege people of faith, yet they want our parliaments to continue imposing religious worship — in one faith tradition — on MPs and the rest of society! #SpringSt
