Vinnies refuses to be ‘used’ to promote Coalition’s new religious discrimination bill

(Jonathon) Hunyor said the second draft “widens the scope for religious organisations to discriminate when providing public (and publicly funded) services”.

“Religious schools, charities and other organisations are given an almost free license to discriminate against people who do not share their religious beliefs.

“Religious hospitals, aged care facilities and accommodation providers are allowed to fire, or refuse to hire, people simply because of their religious beliefs.”
