A welcome plan for social housing for the needy
Anthony Albanese’s commitment to social housing (The Age, 14/5) provides a much needed vision for Australians on low incomes.

If this is enacted as it stands, according to Zwartz, it could interfere with or limit many basic religious practices, areas which are none of government’s business.
