Prime Minister Scott Morrison has confirmed the Liberal National Party will push for the Religious Discrimination Bill to be passed if it wins the Federal Election. But to make matters worse, added protections for LGBTQIA+ students won’t be introduced at the same time.
The Religious Discrimination Bill passed through to the Senate in February of this year. The bill has been super fkn controversial because it essentially protects the rights of religious institutions — like schools — to discriminate against religious beliefs different to theirs, including sexuality and gender.
