Cevap
All people in Australia must obey the law, as the rule of law means that no individual or group is exempt from the law based on their background or beliefs.
The correct answer is that all people must obey the law regardless of their background. This is the essence of the rule of law: it ensures that laws apply consistently and fairly to every person in Australia, ensuring that no one—not even those with high status or strong personal beliefs—is above the legal requirements of the nation.
