With respect to the application of the anti-discrimination laws, I would certainly defer to my colleagues in the House—the respective ministers, the Attorney-General and the Minister for School Education, Early Childhood and Youth—for specific policy statements in that regard. I do not have them in my brief before me but I am, again, incredibly proud of the fact that I am part of a government that has taken substantial steps in removing discrimination against gay and lesbian people—the discrimination they face within the Australian community. In fact, it has been the Labor government that has taken the most substantive steps in this regard with several pieces of legislation to remove this discrimination.
