The Morrison government is expected to bring its religious discrimination laws to parliament as early as next week, sparking a heated debate about whether the bill should ban indirect discrimination and prevent employers from framing policies to bar employees from expressing religious views.
The much-delayed bill, which is yet to be released, sought to fulfil Morrison’s promise to religious and faith-based groups during the 2019 Federal elections, two years after Australia voted for the bill to allow same-sex marriage.
