Christian Schools Australia’s Director of Public Policy Mark Spencer says the proposed changes to the Sex Discrimination Act are “complex” and need “expert review”.
“I think people of faith across Australia are bitterly disappointed by the outcome from this parliament, this whole conflicted campaign we’ve had since 2018 of trying to link religious freedom and protect people of faith with complex provisions in the Sex Discrimination Act in a way that just simply doesn’t reflect reality,” he told Sky News Australia.
“The changes to the Sex Discrimination Act are complex, and as we’ve found out today, it needs expert review, not something to be rushed through in the dead of night by parliament.”
