@moondoong; for a party whose origins are rooted in Catholicism and which even catastrophically split during the 1950s-1960s due to its Catholic base, Albanese's comments defy reality.
I'd love to think that Australia's governments are genuinely secular - they're NOT!
Our politicians even deploy taxpayer funds to enable the operations of 'faith-based', strictly segregated and often highly elitist schools. They allow 'faiths' to operate as 'charities' when in reality they are some of the largest and wealthiest organisations on Earth.
