Show Notes
Last week, there was public outrage after it emerged that Citipointe Christian College in Brisbane sent a lengthy contract to parents demanding that their children denounce homosexuality and follow 'traditional' gender roles.
The school subsequently withdrew the contract, but it has left many of us asking how this kind of overt discrimination is even legal in Australia?
The Quicky speaks to three expert advocates for equality to find out what if any laws exist to protect all Australians from discrimination of any kind, and how the Government's controversial Religious Discrimination Bill could make the situation much worse.
