I find it ironic that 'diversity' is held in high regard today, but then many of these same people demand or pressure religious schools and organisations 'assimilate' to sexual and moral ethics contrary to that religion's teachings.

I don't care that they discriminate against gays as their Invisible Sky Fairy commands them to - but the secular taxpayer should have no part in helping them to do it. Therefore we badly need a Charities Commission that can police whether or not churches and charities are sticking to the rule (ie no discrimination against the law) and if they are then they get their tax-exempt status revoked. Simple. They're still allowed to do what they want but not with the support of the Commonwealth taxpayer.

We could potentially save billions from taxing people like the Exclusive Brethren and the Jehovah's Witnesses (who will have no intention of complying with anti-discrimination laws) - but other organisations like the Catholic Church I can see weakening and adhering to the law for no other reason than they need the money.
