Two months ago I sat in a packed room where Tim Wilson and theologian Michael Bird addressed the topic, ‘Freedom of Speech in Australia today’. During the conversation Mike Bird said that the next issue facing Victorians would be in relation to religious schools and discrimination policies. Last week my non-prophetic friend was proven to be right: the Victorian government announced that it will reintroduce the ‘inherent requirement’ test, restraining the rights of religious organisations to employ staff who support their beliefs.
