Abstract
Drawing upon personal experiences as a Catholic priest and a human rights lawyer who has worked mainly in Australia; as chair of the National Human Rights Consultation for the Rudd Government in 2009; as a participant in the public debate in the lead up to the 2017 Australian plebiscite on same sex marriage; and, as a member of the Australian government’s expert panel set up to report on freedom of religion in the wake of changes to the marriage laws, the author of this chapter offers a series of reflections on the contemporary relevance of religion in the public square.
