Morrison finds that religion and politics do mix

As he introduced the government’s religious discrimination bill, the Prime Minister proudly declared it another example of “the Australian way”. There’s no doubting his personal commitment to protecting the rights of “people of faith”, defending the need for the bill with evangelical fervour.

But there’s also no doubting the political instincts in his determination to take the lead on delivering on this particular commitment ahead of the election – right down to bringing the bill into Parliament himself.
