Stand against a licence to discriminate
Imagine turning up to the pharmacy to buy regular your contraceptive pill and being turned away because the pharmacist doesn't believe people should use contraception.
Imagine your workmates facing no consequences if they say ‘your disability is God’s punishment for sin’, or that ‘women should not be in positions of leadership over men’.
Attorney General Christian Porter and Scott Morrison have released Religious Discrimination legislation that could make this harm a more frequent occurrence - by allowing one person’s faith to override another person’s right to be protected from discrimination.
Current proposed provisions in this bill could increase barriers to healthcare access - including contraception, the morning-after pill, fertility treatment and abortion care. And a 'no consequences clause' would open avenues for attack on women, LGBTIQ+ people, minority faith communities and people with disabilities.
Will you speak out against this plan? Together we can show the parliament who will vote on this legislation that voters oppose a licence to discriminate and want laws to protect everyone equally. Will you sign the petition to join the campaign?
This petition is being run by Fair Agenda in partnership with Equality Australia and Democracy in Colour.
