I approve wholeheartedly of the idea behind Senator Hannigan's amendment but I am a little concerned about it. If he had stopped at humanism, I would be all right, but it goes off into what seem rather less defined areas, such as "philosophical life-stance", which could be anything. It would cover some groups I do not especially want to be covered. I would not want Scientology and my nice, neighbouring Moonies in North Great George's Street to be out with their collection boxes.
