Proposed changes to the equal opportunity laws in Victoriathreaten to destroy our religious freedom.

Thesechanges would make it illegal to discriminate in employment based on religion or moral values and so make it practically impossible to employ appropriate staff at religious schools, hospitals, publications and charities.

Effectively, organisations with a religious ethos will become targets for litigation from opposing groups andindividuals.

However we can defeat this push if people take action now!For more information please visit free2believe.org.au

This will be of interest to people in other states as well, as it is likely they will face similar proposals soon.
