Cevap
The person must follow Australian law, as everyone is equal before the law regardless of their religious or cultural background.
The principle of equality before the law ensures that all people are subject to the same laws, regardless of their background, gender, or religion. In an Australian court, this means that everyone is treated the same way and must follow the law of the land, even if it conflicts with their personal or religious beliefs.
