Coalition to introduce anti-discrimination laws

Bevo · Aug 6, 2010

Federal Shadow Attorney-General George Brandis says if the Coalition is elected on August 21 it will introduce legislation to include sexual orientation and gender identity in federal anti-discrimination laws.

Speaking to Doug Pollard on Melbourne GLBTI radio station JOY94.9 this morning, Brandis said it was likely the change would occur in their first term of government.

“The Coalition believes that discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation should be included among the categories of discrimination in federal legislation,” Brandis said.

This is a big leap forward for the coalition and its a further step than the Labor Party, who have promised, so far, nothing on law reform for the LGBT community.
