‘Dangerous’: Concerns over Albanese working with the Greens on religious freedom

Sky News host James Macpherson says Catholics have reacted with “absolute shock” to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s suggestion of working with the Greens on religious freedoms.

Mr Macpherson says they have described it as “dangerous”.

“Anthony Albanese is pretty keen to pass recommendations from the Australian Law Reform Commission which would limit Christian schools’ ability to employ staff who live by Christian values and ethos and to retain students who are Christians,” Mr Macpherson said.

“Catholics have reacted with absolute shock calling the decision for Anthony Albanese to even suggest working with the Greens on religious freedom as ‘dangerous’.”

The Prime Minister said the government is “concerned about all the forms of discrimination”.

He also said if the Greens are willing to support the “rights of people to practice their faith, then that would be a way forward, but we don’t currently have that”.
