Anti-Discrimination Laws

There’s a chance that Australia could be about to see our strongest ever anti-discrimination laws. What’s at stake?
1 – Protecting people from discrimination becuase of sexual orientation and gender identity.
2 – Making religious organisations follow the same discrimination rules as everyone else in many areas (so religious schools can’t expel gay students or refuse welfare services to pregnant women).
3 – Preventing discrimination because of irrelevant criminal records, which particularly impacts Indigenous communities.
The new laws won’t get over the line without broad support – click here to sign the petition to new Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus, or for more information about this campaign, click here.
