Faith and politics should never mix.
Ever.
Australians need to focus on that.
Americans have forgotten that.
Iranians are protesting that.
Israelis and Palestinians are dying because of that.
People who graciously follow their faith in private, especially need our support at these difficult times.
People need to be free to practise their beliefs in peace and privacy.
We need secular politics to protect citizens, independent of Right Wing lobbying or aggressively vocal and forceful groups, *because protection and safety of ALL citizens is the moral and right thing to do.*
Albanese needs to remember that.
We dodged a bullet with ScoMo's evangelism creeping into Liberal/ National politics.
No faith dollars of *any* description should be lobbying their way into Australian politics for self-serving political point scoring.
