HAPPY EASTER: Let's keep all our traditions alive, and protect them
Happy Easter to all those who celebrate one of our most treasured and important yearly traditions. Whether you are spending the weekend camping, at home, on holidays, or in church, we hope you have a safe and happy time with those closest to you.
Many Australians enjoy the Easter long weekend recreationally. For other Australians, Easter is an important part of their religion. One Nation strongly supports religious freedom – which is a clearly implied right in the Constitution – and we are concerned that a recommendation from the Australian Law Reform Commission to remove exemptions for religious schools in the Sexual Discrimination Act 1984 may be a step towards curtailing some of this religious freedom.
The recommendation comes as the Albanese Labor government is – very secretively – dealing with contentious religious discrimination legislation. The party promised to introduce a bill at the election, something the Morrison government tried but ultimately lacked the courage to see through.
On one side of this debate are religious schools and parents keen to ensure their schools can continue to express tenets of their faith that are at odds with the views of social justice activists. On the other are the activists themselves, supported by the Greens and Labor’s left, keen to force these schools to hire people whose views, sexuality or lifestyles don’t meet the tenets of their faith.
Albanese knows he can’t satisfy the demands of both sides, which is why he’s hedged his bets and called for ‘bipartisanship’ from the Coalition. One Nation has no problem: leave these religious schools alone. If your views or sexuality are a barrier to being employed by these schools, there are plenty of public schools screaming for help.
We need to protect religious schools and their freedom because they are part of Australia's traditional life. At Easter, we are reminded of most of our traditions.
In modern times, traditions like Easter are a beacon of continuity, and for Australians of faith, so is the traditional practice of their religion. They are part of Australian culture. At One Nation, we recognise that traditions are not mere relics of the past but vital threads in the fabric of society, weaving together generations and fostering a sense of belonging and community. Traditions – whether religious, cultural, or familial – anchor us in a world that often seems adrift and always changing.
One Nation will always defend our traditions, especially the ones that are cultural or central to our national identity. Easter is very much one of these traditions, embodying themes of sacrifice, renewal, and hope beyond its religious significance. That’s important when many Australian families are struggling with the cost of living and a national housing crisis.
Happy Easter everyone! It’s an Australian tradition.

What a riot this week's episode of Pauline Hanson's Please Explain is! We return to the Island from last week. It's been 3 weeks since Albo and the Greens crashed landed on the island - and they've been thriving - all thanks to capitalism. Albo declares himself leader of the island. But now problems start to arise.
