Chairperson: Catherine van Vliet: Vice President, ALP (Victoria Branch)
Key issues: Are faith, reason and politics compatible? Is the secular state at risk? Is there a role for faith on the progressive side of politics or is faith a prisoner of the Right? What is the new “aggressive atheism” saying about the role of religion in politics?
