Attorney-General Christian Porter yesterday released the exposure draft of the Religious Discrimination Bill 2019, which will expand federal anti-discrimination laws to prohibit “unfair” treatment of people of faith.

Grants talks to Morgan Begg, Research Fellow at the free-market think tank the Institute of Public Affairs who say “The federal government’s plan to prohibit religious discrimination is a welcome start, but more work is needed to avoid counter-productive and unintended consequences which may limit rather than strengthen religious freedom.”

“Religious freedom is a natural human right which all Australians enjoy, it is not a gift from government. The only way to restore religious freedom in Australia is to repeal laws which impinge upon the free exercise of speech, association, and religion.”
