From the Atheist Foundation of Australia:
The Atheist Foundation of Australia Inc and Metro Tasmania Pty Ltd have today (4 August 09) reached agreement in conciliation before the office of the
Anti-Discrimination Commissioner that the advertisements setting out “Atheism – Celebrate reason!” may be seen on Metro buses in Tasmania in 2010
The negotiations and terms of the agreement are confidential.
President of the AFA, David Nicholls said; “This is a great day for freedom of expression in Tasmania. It is a ‘sign’ of the times.” [read more]
Truly a win for freedom of expression. Congratulations on the hard work put in by the AFA.
