下载应用独立议员 阿莱加·斯彭德 (Allega Spender) 提出了一项法案，旨在取消联邦豁免权，该豁免权允许宗教学校基于性取向、性别认同和相关理由歧视学生、教师和合同工。该法案还将扩大对受影响者相关人员的保护。斯彭德 (Spender) 表示，现行法律传递了一种有害的信息，超出了校门范围，并且宗教学校可以在没有豁免权的情况下保持其精神。该法案仍将允许学校在招聘和高级领导职位中优先考虑与其信仰相同的员工。
Independent MP Allega Spender has introduced a bill to remove federal exemptions that allow religious schools to discriminate against students, teachers and contract workers based on sexual orientation, gender identity and related grounds. The bill would also extend protections to associates of those affected. Spender said the current law sends a harmful message beyond school gates and that religious schools could keep their ethos without the exemption. The bill would still allow schools to prefer staff of their faith in hiring and in senior leadership roles.
