Cevap
The individual must follow the Australian law, as it is the supreme law of the land.
The correct answer is that the individual must follow the Australian law. In Australia's secular system, the laws passed by the Parliament are the supreme law of the land. Although citizens are free to follow any religion or none at all, they must ensure their practices do not break Australian laws.
