2026-05-15 16:54:21 +02:00 | Owen | No I do not | Dangerous Precedent for All Civil Society (The Wildcard) | What a load of rubbish!!!! The State has no right to interfere with genuine Religious Institutions. Also, this sets a dangerous president for NGO's and the like!!!! It is absolutely and totally unnecessary!!! | |
2026-05-15 16:54:05 +02:00 | Klaus | No I do not | All of the above | State Interference in Religious Ethics and Doctrine | The state should not dictate on religious matters. Where individuals and/or groups are committing criminal acts under the disguise of religion, appropriate action applying existing laws, needs to be taken. |

CRL should find better things to do, not regulating things that cannot be regulated. How can you regulate spirituality? | |

2026-05-15 16:49:41 +02:00 | Johan | No I do not | State Interference in Religious Ethics and Doctrine | The state has to stay out of any religious interference because religion is a personal thing and has nothing to do with governing a country! | |

2026-05-15 16:48:34 +02:00 | Chris | No I do not | All of the above | Constitutional Violation & Conditional Rights | Government has absolutely no right to dictate to anyone's religion. Interference in anyone's religion is totally against our Constitution and basic human rights. Our current laws are quite adequate. |

- Standardising Accountability:
Proponents argue the framework is essential to establish clear standards for internal governance, financial transparency, and ethical leadership within religious organisations to restore public trust. - Protecting the Vulnerable:
The initiative aims to safeguard marginalised communities, including the poor and those with disabilities, from exploitation and harmful “healing” practices. - Sector-Led Reform:
The Committee describes the process as a voluntary, proactive initiative “by the Church, for the Church,” allowing the sector to govern itself rather than facing direct State intervention. - Independent Oversight:
Supporters emphasise that the proposed Christian Practice Council for Ethics and Accountability (CPCEA) would be an independent body of respected religious leaders and experts, not a government department.

- The Legislative “Mask”:
Critics contend that while the process is labeled “voluntary,” the intended outcome is a statutory council created by an Act of Parliament with the legal authority to deregister institutions. - The “Four Uns”:
Opponents argue the proposal is Unconstitutional (violating freedom of religion), Unnecessary (existing laws already cover crimes like fraud and assault), Unworkable, and Unaffordable. - Regulation of “Ethics”:
There is concern that moving beyond criminal law to regulate “unethical conduct” allows the State to intrude into subjective matters of belief, doctrine, and private conscience. - The “Wildcard” Precedent:
Critics warn that establishing a State-enabled council for religion sets a legal precedent that could be used to justify similar government oversight of all civil society sectors, including the press and NGOs.
