Sure, I can give a few examples.

Most politicians swear on a Bible when they take their oath of office.

There is Christian prayer in Parliament.

Churches such as Hillsong have a presence in State schools.

State funding to Catholic Youth Day.

Children are automatically subjected to Christian doctrine teaching (_not_ teaching about religion, but teaching of Christian doctrine as truth) in Special Religious Education classes in State schools, unless parents specifically opt out.

The human rights of women and gay people - to bodily autonomy and to civil partnerships/marriage - are violated because of religious doctrine.

The State funds Catholic hospitals to provide public services despite their lack of comprehensive health care to women, and their specific efforts to deny women timely access to health care.

The State prevents foreign aid agencies from providing comprehensive health care to women.

That's off the top of my head.
