The Prime Minister said he was going to take action to protect LGBTIQ students, yet the only action we have seen is an inquiry by the Australian Law Reform Commission that can't report before 2023. Students who started high school in 2018 will have graduated before the inquiry reports. Minister Stoker on radio this morning was very clear that this bill will continue to allow schools to sack teachers on the basis of their sexuality and gender. Is this yet another time where the Prime Minister has lied to save his political skin?
