From Australia-
The
Morrison government's proposed religious freedom laws have managed to
please few, with religious groups and human rights organisations alike
calling for changes.
While
religious figures say the laws don't go far enough, secular groups say
they override the rights of other marginalised parts of society.
Submissions
on the draft religious freedom bills closed last Wednesday, but the
sheer volume received means the Attorney General's Department is yet to
publish them.
The government hopes to get the legislation to a parliamentary vote by the end of the year.
But
with a final form of legislation yet to be settled, only four sitting
weeks remaining, and the expectation of Senate committee scrutiny, that
looks unlikely.
The
Catholic and Anglican churches hold similar concerns about the bill,
including that its protections don't extend across the full gamut of
religious organisations.
