Well there's always other reasons. If you don't like the government funding go with the cultural relevance or the fact they don't have a monopoly on the service they provide. Comparing Fire & Rescue NSW to a mosque that doesn't want to employ a non-Muslim cleric is a farcical false equivalence.

I'm not making the comparison, I'm pointing out that government funding isn't an obstacle for prejudice.

Oh, and the example of a Mosque and a cleric is a poor one, as the new act isn't there to exempt church's within their church, those exemptions already exist.

So the new act is expanding the right to discriminate to other relevant organisations. I'm certain that doesn't include the fireys, which was the example provided in Twizzle's dumb cartoon.

I'm sure it doesn't, I don't think it includes chimney sweeps either, regardless of their cartoon status.

the cartoon's copyright belongs to Cathy Wilcox, so I cant take the credit for it
