MEDIA STATEMENT
Thursday 13 December 2018
RELIGIOUS FREEDOMS
There is no more fundamental liberty that any human being has than their fundamental right to decide what they believe and or not believe.
What you believe should always be a matter for you.
The protection of our religious freedoms is synonymous with our identity and it is particularly relevant because of our diverse Australian society.
Some of our largest and most established communities and some of our more recent arrivals to Australia have a higher proportion of members expressing identification with a religious belief.
94% of Indian born Australians identify as having a particular religious faith and those faiths are many including Hindu, Christian, Sikh and Muslim.
PM with some of the Hindu Council team members
If you support an open tolerant multicultural Australia then you will support and understand religious freedoms.
Religious faith is a way of life and an integral part of harmonious Australian culture that is critically important for our continued success.
Australians are substantially united that all beliefs and all Australians, including not having a belief, should always be respected by each and every citizen.
ENDS

Pauline Lee Hanson is an Australian politician and a Senator representing the state of Queensland. She is also the founder and leader of Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party (PHON). Despite Hanson’s repeated denials of charges of racism,[13] her views on race and immigration have been discussed widely in Australia. In her maiden speech, Hanson proposed a drastic reduction in immigration with particular reference to immigrants from Asia. Condemning multiculturalism, her One Nation party has rallied against government immigration and multicultural policies.[20] Hanson publicly backed Kevin Andrews, then Minister for Immigration under John Howard, in his views about African migrants and crime.[25]
