Brian commented on David Nicholls's question: “Sorry Graeme, I had a bit of a brain fade. "What is it about the secular bit you don't get" was meant to be addressed to Julia Gillard, not you. I totally agree with your sentiment about secularism. ”

Brian commented on David Nicholls's question: “Victorian Education Act 1872 - three pillars for all State schools: free, compulsory and secular. It can't be more black and white.
