A person regularly insults and excludes neighbours because of their faith. How do Australian values view this behaviour?

  1. aIt is acceptable, because everyone has freedom of speech and may say what they like
  2. bIt is not acceptable, because religious intolerance goes against Australian valuesCorrect answer
  3. cIt is a private matter between neighbours, so it is acceptable if nobody is hurt
  4. dIt is only a problem if the neighbours report it to the police and a court agrees

Why?

Freedom of religion means everyone may follow their own faith. Religious intolerance is not acceptable in Australia, so treating people badly because of their religion is wrong.
