The Canberra Times: The govt has dropped the ball on protecting LGBTQ students and teachers

JEC Director of Policy and Advocacy, Alastair Lawrie, wrote an opinion piece published in The Canberra Times:

‘With time slipping away in the current parliamentary term, the government must make a choice. It can introduce reforms to protect LGBTQ students and teachers, seeking support from the Greens and cross-bench: the numbers are there for these changes to pass. Or it can wait for bipartisan backing that is destined to never arrive.’

‘E’very day the government fails to take action is another day that LGBTQ students go to school, and LGBTQ teachers go to work, fearing mistreatment because of who they are, without legal protection.’
