    I didn’t think Australia would still be religious enough to have considered this. They’re generally more liberal than the US.

      I don’t have any numbers, but I suspect that there are more openly religious people in government compared to the general population. Which could simply be due to the average age of politicians being older.

      And SA is known to be a pretty religious place historically compared to the rest of Australia.

      “Australia” didn’t consider it. It was a conservative opposition party in one state that pushed the bill, and it was ultimately defeated.
