AAP: LGBTQI protections bolstered, but not completely

An excerpt from Yahoo News (AAP):

Anti-discrimination laws remain outdated in NSW despite recent changes that are set to improve equality for LGBTQI communities, advocates say.

A wide-ranging but watered-down bill, drafted by independent MP Alex Greenwich, was passed into law in NSW parliament on Thursday night after a 15-12 upper-house vote.

Justice and Equity Centre policy director Alastair Lawrie said the anti-discrimination review must be prioritised quickly.

“NSW laws still fail to protect bisexual, non-binary and intersex people against discrimination and vilification,” he said.
