Australian laws still allow schools to sack gay teachers

Excerpt from Q News:

Laws allowing religious schools to sack teachers on the basis of their sexuality or gender identity should be repealed, advocates say, as Brisbane’s Citipointe Christian College is back in the news.

The Public Interest Advocacy Centre also said the NSW government must scrap the state’s own “broad and outdated” exemptions to protect students and teachers.

“All students should have the right to learn and grow, free from the fear of discrimination on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity,” the Centre’s director Alastair Lawrie said.
