Asked for clarity on the government’s position, a spokesman for Morrison said the plan was now to address the two issues separately.
Speaking at a forum organised by Equality Australia on Thursday night, Bragg apologised to the LGBTQ community for the delay in delivering the government’s commitment, first made during the Wentworth byelection in 2018, to amend s38 of the SDA. This provision gives religious schools a legal exemption to discriminate against students on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, including by expelling them.
“So, once we get the ALRC report in, there’ll be a strong push to get that done. It’s very important. I’m sorry for taking so long. As you know, sometimes it’s difficult to get things done in Canberra.”Labor senator Penny Wong, who appeared on a panel with Bragg and Greens Senator Janet Rice, said the religious discrimination bill was “weaponised and became very divisive” in the last parliament.
“I want to assure you that guaranteeing Australians are safe from discrimination on the basis of their faith remains a priority for me and my government. I will also not allow this issue to be used by Labor and the Greens to undermine existing protections,” the organisation quoted Morrison as saying in the letter.
Gay people exist, God doesn't. Pretty simple choice, really.

There doesn't need to be a choice. People of Faith can live their lives until they try and impose their beliefs on someone else and the LGTBIQ can live their lives in peace because their lives are non of anyone's damn business
Another LINO
What about Abortion? You lot will want to stop abortions. You lot want to decide that women, once pregnant have little or no say in what comes next. Shocking stuff from the LNP. A vote for Morrison is a direct vote against a woman's right to choose.
