Small thread here as "But Secularism" is in the news and Australia has always been a pluralist not a secular nation. We share the British Crown & most of our constitutional origins plus referenda from Swiss & federalism from the Americans - but non republique from the French https://twitter.com/GrayConnolly/status/1386965298981466112">https://twitter.com/GrayConno...
I may add to this thread but the upshot of it was that Australia is federated & a constitutional compact made in the 1890s on explicit understandings of the place of the Almighty and of the pluralistic freedoms of the faithful (and those of other & no faiths)
