    • Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill 2017

    A Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill is set to be introduced into the Victorian Parliament in August 2017. Such legislation would ensure that suffering Australians can die with dignity and autonomy. Click for more information.

    The Census results

    The 2016 census results show a massive rise in the nonreligious, now the single largest affiliation in Australia. Click for more!

    Science in Society

    Governments should adopt an evidence-based approach to public policy making, with increased investment in education for scientific literacy.

    Human Rights

    Government policies should be based on evidence, reason and compassion, and protect the human rights of all Australians.

    Secular Government

    All Australian constitutions should be reformed to ensure clear separation between religion and the State, and all references to God removed.

    Secular Education

    National and state curricula should include the study of a range of religious and non-religious worldviews, taught by professionally trained teachers.
