If passed by Parliament, the Religious Discrimination Bill would privilege concerns about religious discrimination over concerns about other forms of discrimination, for example against women, people with disabilities, and gay people. It would 'sustain nastiness and hostility that [Australia] can well do without', [former high court justice Michael Kirby] with provisions that 'appear to be motivated by a desire to allow people to be nasty to others' [Professor of constitutional law, Luke Beck]. The Pentecostalist beliefs of our PM and conservative religious beliefs of other Federal Ministers seem to be inappropriately influential in putting forward such a Bill.
