Dear friends PLEASE ACT AND SHARE...

The Federal Government has released its draft Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill. We agree that legislation to combat antisemitism and racial hate is needed. However, this bill, as it currently stands, includes significant, perhaps unintended, risks to religious freedom.

The legislation was released on January 12, submissions were due on the 15th, and voting is expected on January 22. This timeframe does not make room for careful analysis of the legislation and its possible impacts.

Among the challenges with the bill is a new crime (punishable by 5 years prison) for “publicly promoting or inciting racial hatred”. The definition is so broad and ambiguous that it could capture legitimate debate.

This bill is set to be voted on in days. We are requesting that time be made for consultation in view of the best legislation.

There are TWO things you can do:
1. If you have a relationship with your local MP, please contact them to express your concern and ask them not to pass the bill at it stands.
2. Please write to your local MP asking them not to pass the bill in its current form.

This is a website to help you to write to your local MP.

You are invited to a special series of talks this Sabbath at the Maitland Seventh-day Adventist church exploring the rise of the Advent movement as prophesied in Scripture.

By attending you will better understand

👉🏼 the origin story of the Seventh-day Adventist church
👉🏼 how key doctrines such as the Sabbath, the Sanctuary and the nearness of the second coming were discovered by early Adventists and remain relevant and foundational for believers today
👉🏼 how events in Adventist history shed light on many of the dynamics within Adventism today.

We look forward to seeing you there!
