"Martyn Iles is prepared to go to jail, along with (he claims) “half the
Christians in Victoria”. The managing director of the Australian
Christian Lobby (ACL) says in a recent YouTube video he thinks it might
happen soon:
The Gospel itself, parts of it; parts of the Bible itself, and
pastoral ministry, and responsible parenting, and good medical care
[…] are set to become potentially jailable offences.
Iles ascribes this to a bill in Victoria that would ban “conversion
practices” aimed at changing or suppressing an individual’s sexual
orientation or gender identity.
Having passed the Victorian Legislative Assembly, the bill is due to
come before the Upper House this week. The ACL is campaigning hard,
alongside other conservative Christians, to persuade the Liberals and
crossbench to reject it."
Update: the bill has now been successfully passed by the Upper House.
