š”Past 11pm, still debating the Religious Discrimination Bill, ALP MPs trying to explain why they have decided to support the Coalitionās bad legislation, that will still be bad even if amended. Protecting some to lawfully discriminate against others!š¤®#voteindependent #auspol
Amendments only try to protect students & teachers. What about an unwed mother nurse or director of a faith affiliated nursing home for example, whose employment can then be lawfully terminated under pry 2 because itās āagainst the ethos & teachingsāof a religion?
As noted by the Law Council, the definition of āreligious bodyā should be limited to a body āestablished for religious purposesā. The definition is so broad, it provides the right to discriminate on the basis of religious ethos & teachings for a very broad range of organisations.
