Can Sydney churches sing in livestream services this Sunday? - with Neil Foster, Adrian Russell and David Clark

Update SATURDAY (3.4.21): NSW Health minister overturns his department’s misstep

THURSDAY (1.7.21): 
During Sydney’s lockdown churches have reverted to livestream services. 

The current (26.6.2021) Public Health Order under point 14, allows performance singing in NSW, which we have taken to include band leaders in churches (especially those singing in livestream ‘performances’ in a room without congregation present). 

But what to do with a Multicultural NSW email sent around yesterday 30.6.2021, which says ‘singing is not permitted in indoor places of public worship?  This includes during a livestream and in regional New South Wales.’? 

But what authority does that email have?  Should we follow the Public Health Order or the more stringent Multicultural NSW email? 

Anglican Archbishop Kanishka Raffel says, ‘I think the wisest course is to accept the advice for this coming weekend’. But significantly his letter does not contain an instruction/directive.  Rather he offers it as wisdom or advice. 

To help us decide what to do?  We speak to Associate Professor of Law, Neil Foster, plus Rev David Clarke from Hoxton Park Anglican Church and Adrian Russell from Northmead Anglican.
