Liberal Dave Sharma rejects giving religious schools right to expel gay students

‘The Liberal candidate for Wentworth, Dave Sharma, has rejected “any new measures” to extend religious schools’ power to expel gay students and sack gay teachers.

‘Sharma made the comments at a doorstop in Wentworth on Wednesday, as the Coalition struggled to contain fallout from the leak of one section of the Ruddock religious freedom review which backed schools’ right to turn away gay students.’
