Editor, The News:
Victoria council has now declared “International Blasphemy Rights Day for Sept. 30. The international community will be delighted to hear that their sincerely held religious beliefs will have bigotry and hate flung around.
Christians, Muslims, Jewish and many other faiths are protected by the Charter of Rights. Religious freedom and freedom of conscience? Hate speech, discrimination and bigotry are being confronted in other areas and now we have a dimwit government in Victoria turning the clock back. Oh well, there will be another election.
