Australian MP calls for new religious freedom law making religious belief exempt from job contracts.

Leading Australian MP Barnaby Joyce is calling for a new religious freedom law, dubbed “Folau’s Law”, that will protect freedoms and make religious belief exempt from employment contracts. The former deputy prime minister and former National Party leader said, “You can’t bring people’s faith beliefs into a contract. Your own views on who God is, where God is or whether there’s a God should remain your own personal views and not part of any contractual obligation.”
