The Greens are harnessing the momentum of World Pride and Mardi Gras celebrations in Sydney to pledge to remove religious exceptions to the NSW Anti-Discrimination Act.
The Greens' "Plan for Rainbow Rights in NSW" commits to introducing legislation within the first 100 days of the next parliament to remove the exceptions for religious bodies, private educational authorities and small businesses in the NSW Anti-Discrimination Act.
Greens MP Jenny Leong unveiled the plan on Thursday, saying the party was committed to ending "the exceptions, policies and practices that enshrine discrimination in our laws and enable harmful practices in our communities".
