The 2016 Anti-Discrimination Amendment Bill is due to be voted on later this week. It has been slammed by the Australian Lawyers for Human Rights group, as well as Tasmania’s own Anti-Discrimination commissioner Robin Banks.
Banks was not shown the proposed legislation before it was made public in August.
We speak with Robin Banks and Nicholas Stewart, co-chair of Australian Lawyers for Human Right’s LGBTI Rights subcommittee.
And LGBTIQ people attending the Royal Perth Show last week were distressed to find large anti-equality stickers had been put up on road-signs around the event.
Greens Senator Rachel Siewart joins the program to discuss.
Tasmanian Attorney General Dr Vanessa Goodwin was not available for comment.
Note: Ruby has been nominated for a GLOBE community People’s Choice Award for covering underrepresented stories on The Informer, and for work towards increasing Bisexual visibility. You can vote for her here
