ALT It is incredibly disappointing to see the continued targeting of Kate Forbes because of her faith. How can we be a truly inclusive society when someone like Kate is told there are some positions that she cannot aspire to because she belongs to a minority faith community? Substitute a different faith into the comments about Kate online and the issue becomes clear: Kate cannot hold this position because she is Muslim. Kate cannot hold this position because she is a Jew. We are entering dark territory here with far too many people failing to recognise this. Some have talked about her views on abortion or gay marriage that she has “publicly expressed”. She has not campaigned on either of these issues but has answered with honesty when questioned.
