I can understand some preachers being taken to the Human Rights Commission, but this is a nonsense allegation. Ogga-Booga ... yeah, man ... after a bit of the old ganja and a lot of hot sun on short and unbalanced rations and dirty or artesian water.... yeah, man - I hear them spirits singing all day... even them whales... yeah...

Poor buggars - all that sensitivity... any adult would just say:- "well you can get stuffed, too - we don;t care if you state what the majority of Australians already say - we know we're right 'cause we said so, so there!"

Lawfare, innit? You can't say NO to us - we'll scream and kick and run to daddy .... mummy ... waaaaaaah ....

Shows the true value of that lot, eh? Must be a slow day at the 'Human Rights Commission' - v.1984 - where the commission appointed without any real reason attacks rights in a decidedly inhuman way. Human Rights Commission(s) Australia - dedicated to removing YOUR rights to suit any whinger and researching endless the ways to reduce and remove rights of the majority.

Now don't get all sensitive on us.... we'll make the bastards equal in all ways yet!! No more crying over unhappy spirits they've never really met... that's as smart as crying over Gazan people killed in action .... add the gay support for Hamas and the rooftop's your limit .... give 'em all one way tickets....

As usual, once you read past the headline you get to the truth.

Headline:

Preacher taken to Human Rights Commission after refusing to perform Welcome to Country

Subheading and first paragraph:

A Christian preacher says he has been hauled before the Human Rights Commission after refusing to perform the Welcome to Country.

Buried down the bottom:

The complaint does not specifically relate to the Welcome to Country or the Bible verse, according to Mr Pellowe, but rather his answer about the decision.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner.

Crank says crank poo, News Ltd reluctantly admit they don't have a verified story after they've nonetheless gotten clicks for it anyway.

Since when was there any absolute obligation to hold a 'welcome to country' gifting of cash for everything?

Not LAWFARE is it? Do as I demand or I'll drag you before the Hooded Anonymous Inquisition Star Chamber!

Surely that can't be using the privileges, offered as legal rights, to a commission to actually create illegal situations of inequality?

We've got an expert here... on Lawfare .... so hshe thinks... any body constituted by a legislative body falls under administration of Law and is required to behave by the proper standards... if that body is designed to establish a specific unequal position of complainant v respondent, it is a breach of Law and indeed a direct attack on Law.

I ask again - since when was there any absolute obligation to hold a 'welcome to country' gifting of cash for everything?

So he gave a response as to why he wasn't doing a Welcome to Country...yes?

It was that response that the complainant didn't like ....

so in affect the Preacher was taken to task by the HRC for stating the reason he wouldn't perform
Welcome to Country.

Quote:

Mr Pellowe claimed the man who raised the complaint had attended the May event, one of a series held across Queensland electorates in partnership with the [highlight]Australian Christian Lobby [/highlight](ACL), only to later complain that “I have racially vilified and humiliated him on the grounds of his race and religion”.

The complaint does not specifically relate to the Welcome to Country or the Bible verse, according to Mr Pellowe, but rather his answer about the decision.

“I don’t know if he’s some other religion or why he came to a Christian event to hear from a Christian teacher of Christian doctrine,” he told online news network ADH TV.

“The ubiquitousness of these Welcome to Country rituals being imposed upon Australians of all beliefs or non-belief at sporting events, when you land on a plane, when you walk into a government building, when you visit a website, when you start a Zoom meeting.

“These are religious rituals which Christians in particular should have no part of.

And under a democratic, allegedly secular and pluralistic society, it should also be something that the taxpayer doesn’t fund and the government doesn’t impose.

It’s the duty of Christians to preach the truth and gospel and to not mix Christianity with false religion, such as the Aboriginal traditional religion, which is bearing all the hallmarks of paganism … inherently false beliefs.”

So SACKA why was the complainant there? Huh huh. Roll Eyes

Seems Aboriginals have rights that trump any rights that white people or Christians may have regarding their beliefs.

A fight between religions?

A pox on both Christian exceptionalism, and obsolete Aboriginal mythology.

no, the preacher was taken to task for claiming aboriginal beliefs were false

go to the preachers church and tell him his religion is crap and I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that preacher would also screech like a banshee
