And there’s the loophole. Claim your own religion. If that’s somehow not good enough go with a fringe religion like the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, which is recognised and tax-exempt in the US and even in NZ but not in Australia.

(The history of the church of the FSM is it started as a protest against Christians teaching creationism rather than evolution in US high schools, it’s now an internationally recognised church, it’s very pro-science, pro-evidence and strongly opposes the Folau position on gay folks. It’s adherents call themselves Pastafarians,)

This bill, although a potentially serious issue, has the capacity to become a laughing stock depending on how creatively Aussies use this new-found freedom. I’d love to see some drag queens start a new church, the word ‘transsubstantiation’ could obviously fit into the name of it somewhere.
