The details of the Church’s demand keep changing, as do the reasons for this demand, and the Government’s response to it.

In each case, the chattering of Melburnians has been laced with dismissive comments about Tasmania, comments which suggest current events are somehow explained by an intrinsic fault or flaw in Tasmanian society, stemming, you guessed it, from colonial times.
A case for coalition government in Tasmania

It is in the best interests of all Tasmanians to have a government that is large and talented enough to allow ministers to make informed, considered and accountable decisions.

The Tasmanian Government has finally given in to pressure from the Catholic Church to allow Church schools to legally turn away or expell students who aren’t Catholic. The Government says this ıs reasonable. But it’s anythıng but.
The Catholic Church justifies immense public funding of its schools on the basis that this gives parents a choice about how their children are educated. Now the Church wants to take away that choice AND keep its funding. The people who will suffer most are non-Catholic families who swallowed the choice rationale and enrolled their kids at the local parish school. Now they will be sent to the back of the enrollment queue.
