Mike Southon (Freedom for Faith) interview – FamilyVoice Australia

Is religious freedom in Australia going backwards? With the Victorian state election on 28 November, FamilyVoice Victorian State Director John Martin sits down with Mike Southon, Executive Director of Freedom for Faith, to talk through the bills putting faith communities under pressure right now and what Christians can do about them. They cover the federal Digital Duty of Care Bill and what it could mean for church and school websites, Allegra Spender's bill targeting how Christian schools hire staff, and Tasmania's conversion practices bill, which Mike calls “a genuinely terrifying bill” for churches right across the country. Mike also explains why consistent, positive engagement with MPs is already making a difference, and how churches are running candidate forums across Victoria ahead of the election.
