The law provides for freedom of religion, and the Government generally respects this right in practice. The Government at all levels strives to protect this right in full, and does not tolerate its abuse, either by governmental or private actors. The State of Tasmania is the only state or territory whose constitution provides citizens with the right to profess and practice their religion.

Minority religions are given equal rights to land, status, and the building of places of worship. ... [Read More]
