21.01.2022 CLEAR (as the Australian Christian Legal Society) was cited on several occasions in the recently released Queensland Parliament Inquiry report into a Human Rights Bill. We argued that the protections to religious freedom in the Bill should follow the protections in the relevant international law, not the lesser standards proposed in the Bill. Unfortunately the Inquiry did not heed our cautions and the Act has now passed. You can view the report here: https://www.parliament.qld.gov.au//past-in/HumanRights2018

13.01.2022 Tony Blair at this week’s Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom: Religious freedom is a great cause, but vastly understated in its importance ... the freedom to worship according to conscience and belief is also of deep relevance to peace, prosperity and security ... If we look back in history, religious persecution has never had a happy outcome ... The fight for religious freedom is not peripheral but central.
