Podcasts about religious discrimination bill

LGBTQ+ people and the people who love, support and affirm us are discriminated against by religious educational institutions and faith-based service providers across the country, every day. Ghassan Kassisieh, Legal Director at Equality Australia joins us to discuss the new report Dismissed, Denied and Demeaned: A national report on LGBTQ+ discrimination in faith-based schools and organisations. We explore religious carveouts that enable faith based institutions to discriminate against LGBTIQ+ people, instances of affirming practices, and how we protect our community from harm.

In this episode, we explore the controversial return of the Religious Discrimination Bill to federal parliament. Once thought to be a relic of the Scott Morrison era, the bill has resurfaced during Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's tenure, fulfilling a promise made during the 2022 federal election campaign. We discuss the implications of allowing religious schools the autonomy to hire staff and enroll students based on faith, amidst concerns over discrimination against non-conforming individuals and the LGBTQI+ community. Despite proposed protections, the debate intensifies over the condition of federal funding to religious institutions. Why should schools have the right to discriminate?We then shift to the pressing issue of campaign and donations reform. With the Australian Greens and independent crossbenchers championing a new bill, we examine the longstanding resistance from major parties and the potential impact of proposed reforms, including truth-in-advertising laws, lowered donations disclosure thresholds, and limitations on contributions from socially harmful industries. Making these reforms should be difficult, but it always is.We address the Liberal Party's internal turmoil, spotlighting the displacement of senior women in favour of male hardliners, a move that exacerbates the party's ongoing “man problem” and hinders its progress toward gender equality in parliament. As the Liberal Party grapples with declining female representation, we analyse the broader implications for its electoral prospects and public perception.Finally, we venture into the unique political landscape of Tasmania, where the upcoming election introduces an unpredictable element to Australian politics. Amidst promises of chocolate fountains and AFL stadiums by the Liberal Party, we compare this with the opposition's focus on cost of living relief, healthcare, and housing affordability. Labor should be a shoo-in for this election but it's not: then again, Tasmanian politics are quite different to the mainland and the election result is anyone's guess.

The latest episode of the Green Left Show focuses on trans rights. There have been growing and coordinated international attack on trans rights. We've seen this in extreme form in the United States and this was echoed in the Australian federal election with explicit LNP support for transphobic candidate Catherine Deves. This show discusses the reasons for the right wing attacks on trans rights; the issues around trans women in sports; why the ALP should not bring in a new Religious Discrimination Bill; positive campaigns such as for transition leave and more. Guests on the show are trans activists Charlie Murphy and Nova Sobieralski.

2022 so far has seen alarm and hysteria continue to cripple the world on new fronts from both real and concocted crises. On this week's WilmsFront we think deeper about what led humanity to this current point in history with my featured guest Dr Stephen Chavura. Stephen is a senior lecturer at Campion College a classical Liberal Arts College with a Catholic faith-based ethos. Stephen had previously worked at Macquire University and Western Sydney University. Stephen is a contributor to Caldron Pool and also posts his commentary and vlogs to his own social channels. He has been a speaker at recent Sydney Freedom Rallies. Stephen and I discuss what the past two years of compliance by Australians with covid lockdowns and jab mandates says about the Australian character. Stephen believes internet technology is behind the rise of cancel culture but believes that humanity throughout history has always socially ostracized dissenters from the mainstream of those times. Stephen is disappointed in the current state of Liberal Governments including the botching of their proposed Religious Discrimination Bill. Stephen co-authored a book in Liberal Party Founder and former Prime Minister Sir Robert Menzies. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Following a marathon session of Parliament overnight, the federal government's contentious Religious Discrimination Bill has passed through the House of Representatives. The government's proposal was that religious schools would be banned from expelling students based on their sexual orientation, but those same rights were not extended to transgender students. In a blow to the government, an amendment to protect transgender students passed with five Liberal MPs crossing the floor to vote with Labor and the crossbench.

As well as her interviews with politicians and experts, Politics with Michelle Grattan now includes “Word from The Hill”, where she discusses the news with members of The Conversation politics team. This week they discuss the imbroglio over Scott Morrison's religious discrimination bill, approved by the Coalition on Tuesday after extensive debate but with dissidents threatening its fate in the House of Representatives. Moderate Liberal MPs have serious concerns: Bridget Archer, who holds the marginal Tasmanian seat of Bass, told Parliament she would not vote for the bill, while Trent Zimmerman, from NSW, in the party room reserved his right not to do so. Meanwhile, Labor has yet to decide its attitude – if it supports the legislation that would ensure its passage. Amanda and Michelle also discuss Tuesday's parliamentary apology to victims of bad behaviour in the parliamentary workplace – with Morrison saying “sorry” to Brittany Higgins. Meanwhile the opposition immediately homed in on the aged care crisis, which saw the government this week sending in the defence forces to help out in facilities.

Another bill has also landed in parliament – the long-awaited legislation on religious discrimination. Why are Muslims leaders, in particular, invested in a bill that mainly Christians have pushed so hard for?

Religion. It's literally divided nations and incited pretty much every single war throughout history.But while Australia remains a majority Christian society, more than 30% of Australians said they have "no religion" in the 2016 Census. Is Twitter taking over from the Good Book? Is "Wokeism" the newest religion - and if so, who would be its spiritual leader?But is the separation between Church and State starting to fade? Our Prime Minister Scott Morrison is a devout Pentecostalist who blesses his constituents (non-consensually). Our politicians are mulling a Religious Discrimination Bill which would give even greater freedom to Australians - and controversial rugby players such as Israel Folau - to copy and paste Bible passages on social. We see ourselves as a tolerant, enlightened society, so why do we go berserk whenever a new Mosque is being built out West?
