LGBTQI advocates urge Australian government to release draft religious discrimination legislation for LGBTIQ+ student protections.

LGBTQI advocates call on the Australian government to release draft religious discrimination legislation, despite it being withheld to avoid a divisive culture war. Equality Australia's national report highlights LGBTIQ+ students face discrimination in independent schools with faith-based organisations. Advocates urge blanket protections for LGBTIQ+ individuals across Australia, stressing that issues such as religious discrimination can unite the parliament and the public, as seen during the marriage equality debate.
