Anti-discrimination laws in the Northern Territory are set to be substantially changed for the first time in three decades.
A bill to amend the Northern Territory's Anti-Discrimination Act is due to return to parliament from today, with the government seeking to expand the list of categories protected under legislation and limit religious institutions' ability to discriminate in their hiring decisions.
While the proposed amendments are backed by members of the LGBT community, some religious groups believe they go too far and could even lead to "reverse discrimination".
