A call to include Satanist lessons in Religious Instruction in Queensland State Schools is the latest stunt by former Sex Party candidate, Robin Bristow.

A Marshall government bill to remove protections for faith-based schools and other institutions has shocked South Australian Christians, the Australian Christian Lobby said today.

For many years, Victorian public school students been supported by qualified Christian chaplains who provide spiritual and emotional advice and counsel.

State Parliament may only be sitting occasionally due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but that has not dissuaded Reason Party Leader Fiona Patten MLC from slipping a bill into the Upper House targeting student spiritual support through school chaplains. The bill claims to ‘deal with religious privilege and uphold secular values.’
