My question is to the Attorney-General. In October 2018, the Prime Minister was asked what his message was for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and gender-diverse students who faced being expelled from school simply for being themselves. The Prime Minister said that their PM 'understands and is going to take action to fix it'. Attorney-General, it has been three years. Why, instead of removing discrimination against students, are you rushing through legislation that is a Trojan Horse for hate? Why are you rushing through legislation that is going to increase the ability to discriminate against LGBTIQ students rather than protect them?
