I have published an opinion piece on the ABC Religion and Ethics website commenting on the litigation in Giggle v Tickle: “Why the Giggle v Tickle judgement is bad for women’s rights and a risk to religious freedom“. For regular readers, some of the comments will be familiar as drawn from my previous blog post on the case. But I have added some new material and updated to note the lodging of the application for special leave to appeal to the High Court.

From the conclusion:

I believe women’s rights and rights of religious freedom are under threat if the appeal decision in Giggle v Tickle stands. Hopefully the appeal to the High Court will restore clarity about how the SDA applies to these important issues.
