Sorry, Senator, but we are discussing a specific amendment, amendment No. 4, which proposes to substitute a portion of section 2 of the Bill with the following:

it takes action, on the religion or belief ground, which is reasonably necessary to prevent an employee or prospective employee from undermining the religious ethos of the institution, and that, by reason of the nature of the employment concerned or the context in which it is carried out, the action taken is objectively justified by a legitimate aim and the means of achieving the aim are appropriate and necessary.

I have already given a bit of latitude, and we got very general with Senator Power’s contribution. We should stick to amendment No. 4.
