My own piece on marriage...

... on the ABC site is now here. Note that this is not a reply to Milbank, but was independently written and based on material in Freedom of Religion and the Secular State (so it gives another sample of the style of argument in the book).

It might be simplest to keep discussion of Milbank's piece and mine on one thread.

Again you are advertising your book on the ABC. Should my taxes be used to fund publicity for your private endeavours?

What a strange comment. I assume it's meant as a joke, because if it's not you must be very ignorant about how the world works. As if writers don't always "advertise" their books whenever they write op.ed. pieces, reviews, etc., and refer to their books.
