NSW AG Michael Daley says religious leaders who give sermons about homosexuality being "a sin" are protected under proposed NSW gay conversion therapy laws- Daley does not trust religious leaders , so exemption may well be illusory

           Daley made racist comments when in opposition, but did not think he had said anything wrong

The ABC has reported: 

A bill to ban gay conversion therapy will be introduced to NSW parliament, with allowances made for parents and religious sermons.

The Minns government said the bill would "save lives" and outlaw conversion practices such as religious "straight camps" or hypnotherapy sessions designed to change a person's sexual orientation or identity.

Attorney-General Michael Daley said religious leaders who gave sermons about homosexuality being "a sin" were protected under the laws.


However, Daley does not trust ministers of religion, so it is hard to see how he will ultimatley find a means of prosecuting religious leaders for  sermons about homosexuality. To begin with, Daley has not defined "sermon".

NSW AG Michael Daley "formed a really great affinity with the beauty of the working class" in Catholic Maroubra but will not trust their priests to witness their statutory declarations

July 14, 2023

In 2019 The Guardian ran a story about  the aspiring NSW  Labor leader and premier for NSW, Michael Daley which said: 

(Maroubra)  still has a larger than average Catholic population, evidenced by churches and Catholic schools dotted around the suburb, including Marcellin College Randwick, where Daley went to high school.

“ I worked right through this estate. My paper run should have taken me two hours, it often took five or six. I would stop off and help the old ladies, walk their dogs, they would give me breakfast and I formed a really great affinity with what I would unashamedly call the beauty of the working class,” he says.

Now, as Attorney General NSW Daley will not even trust their priests to witness ordinary statutory declarations that they may have to attest from time to time.

Ben Robert-Smith : How was Justice Anthony Besanko of the Federal Court able to find that the crime of murder has a civil twin, which can be determined on a balance of probabilities

Most if not all reports have been at pains to stress that the finding was based on a balance of probabilities, and not beyond a reasonable doubt, for the matter was a civil and not criminal matter.  However,  reading his summary one can immediately see that Justice Besanko  found not that Roberts-Smith had committed murder but that the " respondents had, (on  a balance of probabilities) established the substantial truth"  that  Roberts-Smith had committed murder.  However, murder is a  crime and a finding of murder in a criminal court (which is the court in which crimes like murder can be determined!) inv

Who authorised former NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller to say anything about the Berejiklian era quarantine fee and why? Fuller's notice confirms suspicion that NSW Berejiklian government had no basis to impose the quarantine fee, nor quarantine persons who were COVID negative

 by Ganesh Sahathevan      Premier Gladys Berejiklian with NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller and Brigadier Mick             Garraway Who authorised former  NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller  to say anything about the  Berejiklian era  quarantine fee and why? Fuller's issuance of his  COVID  quarantine notice, and subsequent silence, would seem to confirm suspicions raised on this blog that NSW's Berejiklian government had no basis to impose its quarantine fee. Fuller's conduct also adds to suspicion that the Berejiklian government did not have the authority, even under its COVID emergency powers, to quarantine persons who were COVID negative. International arrivals had to test negative for COVID before boarding their flights to Sydney, and tests had to be administered within 72 hours of departure. Quarantine on arrival of those who exhibited no COVID symptoms was quite likely unnecessary. It did, of course help bolster Gladys Berejiklian's approval ratings. TO BE RE
