Abstract:

This introduction to a special issue in the University of Western Australia Law Review contextualises developments in religious freedom contestation in Australia within comparative and global trends. It points to recent challenges to the core claims of religious freedom, highlighting three emergent areas of conflict, and argues that religious freedom continues to be salient and important for all, though particularly for religious minorities. It calls for more serious and respectful discourse between opponents and proponents of religious freedom.
