- The End of Free Speech in Australia? A new Bill - ‘Draft Proposals For A Racial And
Religious Tolerance Bill’ - gives reason for concern for Christians
and people with other beliefs. It seems to suggest that people who share
their faith are in danger of being put in jail for 6 months or worse if
the other person claims to feel seriously offended. Personal beliefs can
be a touchy issue.
The Government web site where
the information on this is stored is here.
You can download ‘Draft Proposals For A Racial And
Religious Tolerance Bill’ from this
page. All public submissions regarding the draft should be received by 28
February 2001 at the address specified on the government
web site.
The Draft itself starts on p27
of the document. The concern is over pages 33, 34, 35 of the document and
the implications thereof. It will only take approx. 1 min to download. Please read the Draft for
yourself and if you feel concerned, then address your
concerns in writing.

- The www.brisbanechristianchat.com
96Five Challenge. 96Five Family FM - Brisbane's Positive Alternative really needs your support. If you can afford it, you really should consider sponsoring them to help them stay on air. The truth is that if they don't get enough support from the people of SEQld now, they might be off air forever within a few
short months. Help keep Brisbane's Christian radio on the air, not up in the air! (A link is provided on the Brisbane Christian Chat home page as well as in the links section.) If you become a 96Five sponsor and tell them that you were
referred by
