Employers should respect the private religious practice of their staff, Scott Morrison says. The comments come in the fallout from the bitter Israel Folau and Rugby Australia dispute | latikambourke

Employers should respect their employees' private religious practice, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said, in a new intervention after the fallout from the sacking of rugby player Israel Folau.

Folau, a staunch Christian, is suing Rugby Australia over what he says is his unfair dismissal, after he paraphrased a passage from the Old Testament to say in an Instagram post that "hell awaits" homosexuals unless they repent.Rugby Australia said Folau broke the terms of his contract and, during the campaign, the Prime Minister said it was a matter of contract law.

"I think it's important ultimately that employers have reasonable expectations of their employees and that they don't impinge on their areas of private practice, and private belief or private activity," he told the ABC'sHe said while the Folau matter would be settled by the courts under existing law, future legislation would plug the gap that he said existed when it came to expressions of religious faith.

The Coalition is torn over enshrining religious freedoms. The idea was proposed and a review commissioned to placate conservatives in the party after the public endorsed legalising same-sex marriage.

latikambourke Nobody is stopping religious practices - we have prayer rooms in our office where employees of various faiths can go and pray - Christians, Muslims, Hindu, Buddhists - what we don't want is all these faiths telling one another which one of them is going to hell.... auspol

latikambourke Religion is not starved of power in Australia. notavictim

latikambourke Could someone please tell Scott Morrison thst we already have religious freedom. It's s116 of our commonwealth constitution.

latikambourke Employees should keep their religious based homophobia private instead of using their superstitious twaddle to attack a segment of the population that frets due to their delicate emotional instabilities.

latikambourke Religion should have no place in the workplace or politics.

latikambourke It wasn't pricare it was all over the internet and he put it there

latikambourke Should I then have the right to quiz potential employees on their beliefs. Which would be good as those with fervent faith outlook have poorer problem solving skills. Christmas, Easter, weddings and funeral folk maybe get a pass. no go for regular church, mosque attendees Hmm?

latikambourke Respecting goes both ways- does not include accepting the vilification of a section of the community in the media.

latikambourke Discrimination on the basis of someone’s faith must remain unlawful; it protects us all, especially atheists.

latikambourke Whereas religious people don't need to show respect to anyone. That pretty much sums it up. The arrogance of the ideologically driven is breathtaking.

latikambourke Private being the key word in this debate!!

latikambourke No, not 'private', Scott. All. Private & public.

latikambourke Tweeting and facebooking to the world when you have thousands of followers isn't really private though is it?

latikambourke Exactly. Its the lack of respect Israel Folau showed to others that is the issue. His private religious practice is not an issue. Public bigotry, on the other hsnd, is an issue.

latikambourke Private yes define private that doesn't include 400000 followers that's public

latikambourke And i guess employees should respect the contracts they sign. Interesting but not surprising that this is the ONLY area where employee advocacy seems to matter to the Prime Muppet.

latikambourke Religious freedom, is freedom from religion..... The sooner we jettison these antiquated, man-made beliefs the better.

latikambourke The operative word being 'Private'. blasting it publicly to (deliberately) cause controversy, is not 'private' practice of his faith. 'God' would be horrified by his unchristian comments.

latikambourke But this was not about Folau practicing his religion. He has his own church where he can indulge himself. I hope the court sorts this nonsense out.

latikambourke Employees should keep THEIR private religious practices out of their employers' businesses. Simples.

latikambourke So ScottMorrisonMP, are you going to order the cancellation of the Australian Public Services Social Media Policies which prevent staff from criticising the Government then? Thought not. FirstOrderHypocrite AusPol

latikambourke

latikambourke Private, yes. But Folau made his very public.

latikambourke Grow some balls & legislate protection of freedom of speech !

latikambourke Well in that case Folou should have kept his religious beliefs private

latikambourke Prove to me that your deity exists and I will respect your “right” to follow its directive. Proof does not mean anecdotal gibberish. Bring me a piece of it.

latikambourke How independent and Fair, is real the Fair Work Commission, when it decision seemed to depend on, who can affording a team of very esperient Lawyers, even when it goes in faver of workers, Bosses never lose, they still have full power over worker pay back directly or indirectly.

latikambourke I think the problem is when those private religious beliefs become public in the workplace. auspol

latikambourke They do, Instagram is not private. It's the equivalent of having a newspaper column for someone of Folau's fame.

latikambourke Is an Instagram post the poster's property, or once posted, is it Instagram's publication?

latikambourke Folau just broke a contract. That’s all!

latikambourke Does folau understand PRIVATE religious practices?

latikambourke PRIVATE

latikambourke If they kept their private beliefs to themselves OK.

latikambourke If Folau would just be one of Morrison’s “quiet Australians” and not preach his beliefs to all and sundry we would not be in this situation.

latikambourke Does this mean that we'll be having a 'bring your ghost to work day' soon?

latikambourke

latikambourke A note to balance your comments, PM: staff too have to respect and abide by contracts they enter into with their employers. Otherwise don't sign the contract and seek work with an employer that has similar values/beliefs.

latikambourke Sounds fair - what about their public displays of hostility and hate speech on the same Social Media profile they use to promote their employers business....?

latikambourke What are the instances of “private religious practice” that have been established as causing problems for employees? I think this is a “solution” in search of a problem.

latikambourke And their should also be such a thing as privately practising same sex affiliations! I am a liberal so I don't care what what others do. I remember when the mardigras first came into acceptance, then same sex marriage followed! It is our children who suffer the most!

latikambourke Folau can privately be a Christian all he wants. What Rugby Australia has a problem with was his PUBLIC displays of homophobia.

latikambourke Yeah private is the key word here but Folau has chosen to make his religious views public, so I guess that changes everything

latikambourke Meanwhile the government’s spy agencies have more power than ever to monitor our lives and raid our homes

latikambourke Israel wasn't practicing his faith in private.

latikambourke Remember that this would need to include all religions (Muslim, Hindu etc.)

latikambourke ScottMorrisonMP Thank you ScumMo you LiarFromTheShire & HappyClapperSloganBogan for clarifying that Folau in fact breached his contract by bringing his private religious beliefs into the public domain, vilifying a group of people based upon his dislike of their sexual beliefs

latikambourke it was hardly private...

latikambourke Private practice; public pronouncements; employment contracts; .... ability to read and understand ....

latikambourke Private yes, but public hate speech, no.

latikambourke There should also be respect for ppl around them & those that don’t hold the same views as them. There should be a degree of professionalism in workplace, extending beyond the workplace when you are inherently known as representing that establishment. Contracts should be adhered

latikambourke But religious employees should have no responsibility to respect the non-religious position of their employer. Nor should they suffer any liability if their public comments cause financial damage. And contract laws that allow business to ask employees not to do so are oppressive?

latikambourke SM you use the word private religious beliefs. The same goes for Issy as for you. Frankly I don't care what you pray to. I find it objectionable that the pair of you use your religions as weapons. You think it makes a difference. It doesn't.

latikambourke Ok, so are we to ignore their vilifying of others because they are offended? Great words from The Liar From The Shire!

latikambourke Private religious practice should be exactly that - private.

latikambourke This is more a question of free speech than religious freedom and should be dealt with from that avenue with any potential legislation.

latikambourke Employees also need to keep their religious practice private. I think what Folau did was a hate filled rant, don’t tie that type of hate to religion, absolutely disgusting! He had been warned previously by ARU & the ego filled homophobe thought he was so ‘big & important’!

latikambourke People should leave their religion at home.

latikambourke What's 'private religious practice' got to do with it?

latikambourke I agree, so religious organisations can't be allowed to employ on religion grounds. It must stop immediately.

latikambourke Employees should respect the lawful codes of conduct that form part of their $1M/annum contract and quit using religion as an excuse to vilify others.

latikambourke Really? All religions or just the ones you agree with?

latikambourke Jesus H Christ, we’ve got a fair dinkum bible bashing Jesus freak as PM, it’s going to be an extremely painful 3 years LiarFromTheShire jesusfreak

latikambourke after watching vladimir's full interview. I am more than certain these oligarchs and corrupt versions of governance in the west are on course for the concept of racist cultural divide when it should have been about the economic divide that created these zones in the first place.

latikambourke Wow who would have thought a rabidly Pentecostal PM would defend religious ppl’s right to vilify minorities auspol

latikambourke

latikambourke What a crap! People still don’t get it. If you use religious freedom to send someone to hell it is not ok!

latikambourke Yes but if it remains private and it has nothing to do with signing contracts that had time to be read and signed accordingly .

latikambourke Is the key word private? Should your actions harm the organisation you are contracted to didn't you be given the boot? Well I suppose in that respect half the politicians the last few years would get the sack.. Tony Abbott anyone

latikambourke Does ScottMorrisonMP think before he speaks? So does that give a naturist the right to spread their belief publicly without fear of offending others? Which religions/cults/dogmas will this cover? My old neighbour would love to strut his stuff without fear or retribution.

latikambourke Religious freedom means the right to practice your religion. In a secular democracy when religious practices conflict with the law of the land then the law takes precedence. There are practices in many religions that are inhumane and downright dangerous and need to be stopped.

latikambourke Yes and we need to protect our children from these sexual perverts in the Schools

latikambourke Private being the operative word!

latikambourke That’s the key, Scomo! PRIVATE. Keep it that way.

latikambourke Not when it’s said in a public forum and promotes hate &/discrimination

latikambourke Morrison can’t accept the ‘yes’ vote in the same sex marriage plebiscite...

latikambourke Hate speech should not be a religious practice

latikambourke What if the religious practices of said staff impact on an employers business? Food for thought hey?

latikambourke While what Morrison says is essentially true, the freedom of religeon/ freedom of speech argument can never sanction the public expressing of views that can cause exreme suffering nor prevent an employer from reacting in the way that is best for their business and for society

latikambourke Private does not mean posting vile comments all over FaceBook

MariaMatthews5 latikambourke Yes, if they need to pray 5 times a day, they should be accommodated.

latikambourke Great, you're christian, we get it. May a thousand blossoms bloom. But don't shove it in our faces, keep it in your homes.

latikambourke And the religious should respect their employers and not to use their religion for political gain

latikambourke I have heard no word of protest from any of the others on Falou's list apart from homosexuals who in the eyes of many of us are no better than let's say, adulterers

latikambourke Except he didn’t keep it private ScottMorrisonMP. He chose to break his employment agreement after being given a warning nothing to do with religion and everything to do with he did the wrong thing. Now can we please move on !!!!!

latikambourke This whole Israel Folau saga is getting tiresome.. when politicians get sworn in, place their hand on the same book with the same ideology and yet call him a homophobe😂I find this amusing .. bunch of hypocrites. Most religions preach the same thing.. re-write the book I say ..!

latikambourke Maybe staff should do what their paid to do and leave the religion at home. Religion is deeply personal to those that are true christians ..its not a penis or vagina . Just because you have a penis or vagina ..you can't pull it out at work and shove in the faces of others.

latikambourke Name the odd one out: Age Race Disability Religion Gender Sexuality RELIGION - it’s the only one that is made by CHOICE. Australia doesn’t need Religious Discrimination Laws. Those of “faith” need to respect the rights of others to live free FROM religion. auspol

latikambourke Private doesn't mean publication on multi national media like Facebook or Twitter. Private also needs to be considered when a person is a multi national or national high profile public figure. Private means in private.

latikambourke FFS, how many times? This case isn't about religious freedom. It's a straightforward breach of contract.

latikambourke The same hypocritical politicians send preachers to our schools freedom of religion should include freedom from it

latikambourke Hail Paimon.

latikambourke I don't think it was all that private I'd love to hear nothing more about the closet pillow biter

latikambourke So much for the secular state.

latikambourke Private practice is fine but Folau's words were broadcast to the public the majority of which don't support any religion.

latikambourke The staff should keep their private religious practise PRIVATE and stop trying to inflict it on the rest of us

latikambourke This is so much confected angst and teeth gnashing done purely to re-pay his happy-clappy supporters. Ruddock's inquiry saw no evidence of any need for this nonsense.

latikambourke Providing prayer rooms during Ramadan? A fair go for all, remember!

latikambourke So why do you all get to vilify Israel? He has just as much right to voice his opinion in public as homosexuals do to,disgusting as it is, kiss in public! This to me is an abomination! Who are you to tell me I’m wrong? Wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it!

latikambourke It is a pity that such respect is not offered to those whose private ethical stand requires them to become whistleblowers. When individuals want to share the truth about abuse and criminality. Not that I expect that from Morrison. 'Truth' and Morrison are worlds apart.

latikambourke And employees should respect their employers contractual arrangements and keep their private lives and beliefs to themselves.

latikambourke ScottMorrisonMP umm excuse me PM, but how exactly was the practice of Folau's religion private when he had publicised his discriminatory views for all in Sundry to see

latikambourke Politicians never say the rights of Athiests need to be respected or recognize that we don't want to be bombarded with religious clap trap.

latikambourke Key word being private.

latikambourke If IzzyFolau hadn't plastered his rant on social media no one would have been outraged. 😳

latikambourke 'Private' being the key word there. The issue is with public comments, not private religious practice.

latikambourke Free political advice. Unless he is eating, Scott Morrison should stop opening his mouth. It’s a portal for a ceaseless stream of undiluted stupidity.

latikambourke I have no problems with religious expression. I do have problems with homophobia

latikambourke They do you Muppet. It's the PUBLIC hate speech against others they won't tolerate. Is this srsly our PM?! How stupid & pathetic 🤬

latikambourke Or maybe do the same as Victorian public schools who are taking on the cyber bullying?

latikambourke Muslims have their ridiculous beliefs in the public via halal certification. It’s already happening .

latikambourke Why did scomo invite media into his church?

latikambourke Why does this not surprise me. Keenan is right you are an A***hole. Practice your religious nutbaggery in private please.

latikambourke There is a huge difference between 'religious practice' & public attacks aimed at certain groups within our community Scotty There is NO religious oppression occurring in the Folau saga Morrison along w others are skewing words and the scenario auspol

latikambourke If that’s the case why can’t I as an atheist get a job as a cook at a Christian camp. The job ad specifically states the need to be a Christian. Unless I am only serving loaves and and fishes I don’t see the relevance

latikambourke Dear ScottMorrisonMP, I'd like to take this opportunity to have a private word. That's bullshit and you're being a dickhead. Please respect my private beliefs. I do this out of love.

latikambourke private?

latikambourke In an election year where so many prospective MPs lost their parties support due to their THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA it seems a bit rich that had it been religious they would have been fine!

latikambourke Hope that goes for gay teachers in Christian schools, Morrison you flog.

latikambourke What is the difference between private religious practice and vilification of members of our community. I don’t think Morrison knows.

latikambourke When you are an international rugby star and tweet that gays will go to hell. That is not private religious practice.

latikambourke 'Employers should respect the private religious practice of their staff' says ScottMorrison Really? So marijuana smoking Rastafarians are OK & any drug testing employment conditions can be bypassed? Folau

latikambourke Being religious does not and should not give people rights above the law or to treat others badly Morrison is trying to turn Australia from a secular society to one in which people and organisations want privilege in law because they are religious

latikambourke Unless they’re Muslims right🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️ FFS 😡

latikambourke Employees have ABSOLUTELY NO right to have any say whatsoever on your religious or political beliefs, they only need to know you have the credentials ( experience) to do the job.

latikambourke Says the biblebasher himself

latikambourke hypocrite

latikambourke Yes but when the employee comes out and starts sermonising others on how to live that crosses the line between private and public and then brings employers into it.

latikambourke Morrison is a Pentecostal the same as Folau ask Morrison if he also believes gay people etc are going to hell

latikambourke I respect the right of people to hold religious beliefs, but the beliefs themselves I can challenge, question, oppose, reject, mock or ridicule as I deem appropriate.

WombatRex latikambourke Does that include say Wahhabist Islam?

latikambourke Is Scotty being obtuse on purpose or is he actually this dense? The whole point is it wasn't private. And he does understand other religions besides own will will be able to hide behind this proposed legislation with their public hate speech right?

latikambourke Religion shouldn’t have a place in the work space unless you are a priest off course

latikambourke It’s not very private when the man is screeching his bigoted views all over town. Also let’s not confuse being a vocal homophobe with being religious.

latikambourke How did we end up with this dull witted happy clapper?

Jimrich6775 latikambourke Bob each way here. Pathetic.

latikambourke What about tweeting hate messages to hundreds of thousands of followers makes it “private practice of religion” ScoMo is another fairytale believer who needs to go.

latikambourke If said religious practice was kept private we wouldn't be having this problem

latikambourke That is exactly what evangelicals do not understand about abortion. It is a private matter.

latikambourke And we heard NOTHING of this during the election campaign. The liarfromtheshire strikes again. auspol

latikambourke He’s pushing Pentecostal ideas in this country very dangerous they get a footing here , especially with right wing extreme running this country with his mates. Putting minorities down and saying that is ok to do. That’s sceary and lead to young right wing followers , be scead.

latikambourke When anyone, anywhere, cannot quote directly the text of books, and be comprehended to have done simply that, a reading of Satanic Verses, will remind one of the liberties of the West. Being threatened by “the Bible says...” is astonishing for non-adherents. Unbelief & fear eh?

latikambourke Instagram is not private!

latikambourke Hmm? 'freedom of religion, religious practices' Please leave us to our own beliefs, interpretations of our ancient scrolls & books, is a law now.........

latikambourke Hey ScoMo. The clue’s in the word - “private”. Idiot.

latikambourke Yes, they should, but only if it is kept private.

latikambourke Look Christians say that everyone is born going to Hell which is total BS as a baby who has lost its dear life before even talking or walking has committed no sin to repent. Religion is all lies to con people out of money

latikambourke Awesome and very sensible... and then there’s this rather prickly, irritable thing called Social Media...

latikambourke Hundreds of thousands of Australian workers will have their penalty rates cut again today because Scott Morrison refuses to reverse this unfair decision. auspol

latikambourke Oversimplification has always been a key part of the conservatives dialogue. Here we go again. I call bullshit on this attempt. Folau is not a ‘normal’ employee and the Rugby Aust is not a ‘normal’ employer. auspol

latikambourke Nice if drunkards and adulterers, etc would be more private. I guess they want to be free to tell all!!..

latikambourke How stoopid can one man be?

latikambourke Private, being the operative word. Falou wasn't private, was he?

latikambourke Instagram is private?

latikambourke 'Private' is the magic word

latikambourke What about a bully 'at work' who calls you a homosexual and says you are going to hell ? Did Scott think of that side of the story ?

latikambourke ScottMorrisonMP His practise wasn’t private, though. He publicly denounces and damns all sorts of groups to hell—that’s preaching, not private religious practise.

latikambourke So,the happy clapper is showing his true colours.🤔

latikambourke Does that include Muslims?

latikambourke Employers should butt out of everyone’s personal lives. They should sit at the bottom of the food chain, not be dictating to all of us via “say what you want, but you’ll have no livelihood.”

latikambourke Keep religion out of the workplace and out of politics

latikambourke Folau wasn’t an employee, he was a contractor, engaged under T&C he agreed to.He breached them twice after counselling, so end of the argument .It’s bye bye Izzy

latikambourke My private religious practice is googling pork bone broth recipes.

latikambourke Social media is sorta the opposite of private...

latikambourke Private might be the key word dumbo.

latikambourke What are you preaching to us Morrison.. are you some religious nutter.. God how the hell did you get to be pm of our Australia

latikambourke A religious discrimination act, anti-discrimination act, private religious practice of staff (PM), laws on racial discrimination and hate speech then public biblical homophobic quotes by employee Mr Folau. Are other sins not covered in bibles?

latikambourke What about when they make their opinions public on a platform with followers that they only have because of their workplace? Rugby Australia is responsible for providing Folau with his followers, they should be commended on holding him to account for his language and actions.

latikambourke This whole issue with Folau is nothing but a witch hunt!!!! Players who have committed far more get a slap on the wrist and treated like gods. There is something terribly wrong, as to what message is being conveyed here.

latikambourke Employees should also abide by their contract. Posting divisive & hateful shit on their social media to their 367k followers isn’t private. IzzyFolau

latikambourke The key word here is PRIVATE ScottMorrisonMP and social media is not.

latikambourke Whilst this may hold truth, by the same token employers shouldn't be held at ransom by religious freedoms legislation that infringes upon workplace legislation and/or company practice and standards. It's all plain unnecessary. Religion at home. Work at work. Mutual exclusivity.

latikambourke Does that mean Muslims too? Was it asked or skimmed over as yooj?

latikambourke Like Scott's 'private' visit to church in the lead-up to the election. He appears to have trouble with that word.

latikambourke cool coolcool so if your religion is to not be preached at by tiny minded nutjobs you can tell them to get fucked and if your religion says employees should do as asked then thats covered too this horseshit is very productive of you

latikambourke Folau is safe. His contract breaches s116 of Cth Constitution. The Commonwealth shall not make any law for establishing any religion, or for imposing any religious observance, or for prohibiting the free exercise of any religion.... auspol

latikambourke Employers DO respect the private religious practices of their employees, for the most part. However, when the employee makes his/her religious practices 'public', then the employer has the right to object, especially when the contract specifies 'no public profession of prejudice'

latikambourke Note the word PRIVATE ...Keep religion PRIVATE..When you bring it out of home into your workplace, school, on to streets, it irks.

latikambourke Didn't know a public Instagram profile with thousands of followers was A) Considered 'Private' or; B) A recognised religious practice.

latikambourke Everyone is entitled to their own religious belief, as long as they don't try and shove those beliefs down everyone elses throats... thus...being private religious practice!!! Can you spot the difference Mr Morrison

latikambourke Morrison has invented this 'commitment' that suits his purpose. I don't like the sound of this Bill that he's chosen to be 'busy working on'.

latikambourke Private is the key word. Israel's social media isn't private. It's a very public forum

latikambourke I wonder whether this privilege will be extended to all views/practices/opinions held by employees or only just religious views? auspol

latikambourke Sure, as long as they keep it private or at least not offend any potential clients and customers.

latikambourke Scomo is tipping his hand on what he really thinks about gays and lesbians. Keep going scomo. Your about to see what the voters think about that and you ain't going to like it at all. But keep going, old rather know what you think.

latikambourke I wonder how the Izzy safa would pan out if he was a muslin....

latikambourke Yes, Scummo.. PRIVATE

latikambourke Key word “private”

latikambourke But will the converse also be encouraged -that religious employers should respect the private non-religious practices of their employees?

latikambourke Except Folau’s wasn’t private (he tweeted about it) and it was clearly against his contract- which he agreed to/ signed.

latikambourke Then Folau should keep his posts private.

latikambourke Public proselytising is not private religious practice.

latikambourke

latikambourke Nobody cares about anyone’s private religious practices unless they intrude on the rights of others

latikambourke Absolutely

latikambourke Private being the operative

latikambourke Keep your religion to yourself and out of the workplace

latikambourke But not respect derogatory slurs. Right?

latikambourke I’m confused; where does it say that vilification of a group of people is a private religious practice?

latikambourke Employees should respect their code of conduct

latikambourke posting to thousands of people on a public facing media platform is not private practise. It is broadcasting.

latikambourke Maybe they should, but they don’t. I used to work for local council, the abuse against anyone who wasn’t white was astounding. I complained about it, and stuck up for these people, and I was sacked for it, and not a single lawyer in nsw wanted to do jack shit about it!

latikambourke Employers should just respect their staff. Why pick and choose?

latikambourke All would be solved ScottMorrisonMP, if Australia had a BillOfRights auspol

latikambourke I dare ScottMorrisonMP to start tweeting the same religious claptrap that IzzyFolau has and see how long he lasts as PrimeMinister of Australia.

latikambourke Private being the key word yhere, IzzyFolau.

latikambourke But it wasn’t private. ScottMorrisonMP should butt out

latikambourke And religious types should copy their non-religious brethren and keep their word!

latikambourke He’s going to have to go into damage control after that statement

latikambourke Private like when you post to your social network of 400k people?

latikambourke Private? The whole point of social media is that it's social, not private.

latikambourke Private seems to be the operative word here. Folau's behaviour fails Morrison's test.

latikambourke Does ScottMorrisonMP also agree then that religious organisations respect employees rights to not believe the same?

latikambourke If they keep ‘em private.

latikambourke If an employee was spraying views that were deterring customers from my business then I would sack them! This is the quandary the right wing in Australia has on their hands! Do you support business or pet projects!

latikambourke Cool. Going to walk into work tomorrow and tell my gay boss that he is going to hell. Thanks ScoMo.

latikambourke This is true Scoot, the operative word being 'private'. And the other substantive consideration is that employees should respect the terms of the contract they sign especially when that contract is in the millions.

latikambourke

latikambourke 'Private' - being the key word.

latikambourke I have had no issues with religious beliefs before. I was asked if I was a member of the LGBTQI+ community when applying online for a job... Unsure how I feel about that.

latikambourke Will ScottMorrisonMP respect that right when public servants whose faiths demand honesty leak secrets to the press about politicians' misdeeds?

latikambourke Staff should respect the private terms of their contract of employment.

latikambourke Will the wallabies and qantas sue the bible ?

latikambourke And their religious practice should remain private! It should not have an unwanted, uninvited impact on anyone else!

latikambourke ScottMorrisonMP Employers do respect private religious practice of their employees. This hate speech wasn’t private.

latikambourke 'Private' being a pretty key word here.
