Australia politics live update: Scott Morrison to introduce religious discrimination bill to parliament

Sumary of Australia politics live update: Scott Morrison to introduce religious discrimination bill to parliament:

• But the reason it is going to a senate committee is because not everyone is happy with the bill, within the coalition’s own ranks Here’s why Trent Zimmerman wants the sex discrimination act loopholes dealt with now.
• Will it still be the case, under the Religious Discrimination Bill?
• Stoker: The Religious Discrimination Bill covers slightly different territory.
• It provides that it is unlawful to discriminate on the grounds of religious belief or activity or indeed someone’s non-belief in areas like employment, education, provision of goods and services.
• Stoker: Look, we’ve made the commitment both to bring in the Religious Discrimination Act, and to deal with those provisions in the Sex Discrimination Act.
• We also took the Religious Discrimination Act to an election, as you’ll recall.
• We need to make sure that people from a religious perspective, or indeed a right not to believe perspective, don’t face discrimination.
• @ScottMorrisonMP on changing laws allowing schools to expel gay students: Religious schools don’t want to expel students on this basis.
