- They may ask a local community leader to decide the matter for them
- They may wait until they become a citizen before obeying the law
- They may quietly follow their own culture's rules in private instead
- They must follow Australian law, whatever their background or culture ✓
Why this is the answer
Australian law covers everyone in Australia. Culture and background do not create an exception to it.
