In Australia, which law must you follow when a religious law is different from Australian law?
- The religious law, if your community agrees with it
- Australian law, because religious laws have no legal status in Australia
- Whichever law you choose
Why this is the correct answer
Australia has no official national religion and people are free to follow any religion, but religious laws have no legal status. Australian law must be followed by everyone in Australia, including where it is different from religious laws.
