Dear Prime Minister Anthony Albanese,
We the under-signed are calling on you to keep the promises you made to the Australian people at the 2025 election, and protect:
- The individual rights of religious freedom, expression and conscience, and the right for parents to raise their children in accordance with their faith.
- The positive right for faith-based organisations – including churches, charities and schools – to operate according to their faith. This includes employing staff and volunteers who believe and live out their faith.
Yours sincerely,
Don’t forget to share this petition with your family, friends, and neighbours and encourage them to raise a united voice to protect religious freedom in Australia!
How is my religious freedom under threat?
Anti-faith lobby groups and some politicians are actively working to take away your right to live your faith.
- Your right to teach your faith and share it with a friend.
- Your right to teach your children the biological facts of sex and gender.
- Even your right to pray in a public place.
Your religious freedom is being pushed aside and even actively undermined.
The risk is growing that you could be sued or even prosecuted for speaking up to defend your faith, sharing it with other people… even praying for others!
What have the Government Promised?
In the lead-up to the 2025 Federal election, the Labor and Liberal parties both made commitments to faith leaders on religious freedom.
Both parties committed to protecting freedom of speech and religion, including the commitment that existing religious freedoms would remain and not go backwards.
Labor also committed to developing a religious discrimination bill, but on the condition that it can be negotiated in a bipartisan way with the Coalition. This is a helpful commitment, because it rules out working with the Greens or other independents to push through cuts to religious freedom.
Multiple Labor MPs and Ministers promised that any changes to the rights of faith-based schools or other religious organisations to choose who they employ, or operate according to their faith, would also have to be bipartisan.
Finally, Communications Minister Michelle Rowland also ruled out reintroducing the disastrous Misinformation/Disinformation Bill, because of its impacts on religous freedom.
These promises are not perfect, but they are encouraging.
Now we need to make sure they keep them.
Who is opposing protections for religious freedom?
You won’t be surprised to hear that there are many lobby groups and politicians who have an anti-faith agenda.
They’re using their political clout to undermine faith in this nation, creating a toe-the-line culture that’s more about being seen to be politically correct than living by faith and strong values.
At local, state and federal levels, it’s important to defend your faith and let decision-makers and political leaders know that religious freedom matters to you, and they need to keep their promises.
What can I do to protect religious freedom?
Your action today matters more than you might think!
Labor needs to be constantly reminded of their promises, and that people are watching.
By signing the petition below, you’re joining with thousands of Australians to send a message loud and clear: religious freedom matters.
After you sign, please share the petition with your family and friends and on your social media. The more people who sign, the greater the impetus for this vital issue.
So thank you for signing the petition below calling on Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to pledge to protect religious freedom
