Quote:If someone has a religion where their religion says they aren't allowed to wear shoes, and must have really long uncovered hair, and was refused a job in a factory because of this, would this make OH&S laws discriminatory?
No, of course not. Despite the impression you can sometimes get, there is a fair bit of common sense in it.
Basically, it comes down to what is a good reason. You can't refuse someone a burger flipping job at maccas because they are black. But if you are casting for a movie role for a white person, you can discriminate all you want. There are some genuine grey areas in this, but you are nowhere near them.
Quote:What if there was a religion that said paying taxes and excise went against your faith?
Plenty of hippys and angry old men have tried that one. That's why they brought in the GST.
