Cevap
They must obey the law, as everyone in Australia is required to follow the law regardless of their personal beliefs.
The correct answer is correct because 'obeying the law' is a fundamental responsibility of everyone in Australia. The rule of law ensures that all people are treated equally and must follow the same rules, meaning that personal or religious convictions do not excuse an individual from their legal obligations.
