Unbeknownst to most South Australians it has been possible, until very recently for independent Christian schools to teach creationism as part of the science curriculum.  That sad and sorry state of affairs has been altered.  The South Australian Non-Government Schools Registration Board has made a policy decision to remove the teaching of creationism from the [...] Related posts:

Dan Harrison from the Age reports that:

THE Greens want to scrap the national school chaplaincy program and replace it with a scheme to help schools employ counsellors and community liaison officers.

Currently we have a scheme in Australia where religious chaplains are funded in state schools.  There is a thin veneer of equality – applying this [...] Related posts:

According to the Sydney Morning Herald:

VERITY FIRTH[Education Minister] is refusing to guarantee a 10-week trial for secular ethics classes will start next week in state primary schools as expected, after a flurry of complaints from religious leaders.

How much is a flurry, should we be thankful its not an kerfuffle?

So how much is a flurry exactly. [...] Related posts:

The Gillard government will if elected, contribute 1.5 million to the celebrations surrounding the canonisation of Australia’s first saint.  The Liberals, not to be left out in paying homage to the church will equal that if elected. Gillard said:

The Sydney Morning Herald reports… “The secretive religious sect Exclusive Brethren has proposed a rural site on the NSW Central Coast for its newest 800-seat church, but locals are against the plan. Residents in Lisarow, north of Gosford, have organised a public meeting for Saturday against the proposed development. The group, Lisarow Residents Against Inappropriate Development (RAID), says [...]

EoR has mentioned the political activities of the ostensibly non-politcal Exclusive Brethren before. The Australian Electoral Commission has also taken an interest:

The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) will announce today it is referring questions to the federal police about whether members of the sect lied about their links to the election campaign. The AEC has been following the source of money used to pay for pro-Liberal and anti-Greens advertisements and leaflets worth $370,000 in Tasmania, South Australia and Mr Howard's Sydney seat of Bennelong, shortly before the 2004 election, Fairfax said. A $10 company set up three weeks before the poll and deregistered 18 months after it was one of the top five "third party" political spenders in the poll. The company, Willmac Enterprises, was set up by Sydney man Mark Mackenzie, a member of the sect.
