An Act Of Discrimination

Posted on: Thu 10 Oct 2019

In August of this year a draft of the Religious Discrimination Bill was distributed by the attorney general Christian Porter.

Racial justice organisation Democracy in Colour and feminist group YWCA have condemned the proposed bill with concerns it may interfere with existing anti-discrimination laws.

Democracy in Colour national co-director Neha Madhok spoke with Pink Rabbit‘s Soph Landau about the changes needed to protect minority religious groups – without harming LGBTQI+ communities or affecting access to health services.

The bill will be discussed over the coming months allowing time for a senate inquiry.
