As I said, the Morrison-Joyce government takes issues of discrimination very seriously in Australia. We are committed to protecting Australians of faith and those not of faith from discrimination on the basis of their religion. And, as I said, the bill passed the House of Representatives last night. We made a commitment to the Australian people at the last election that we would, on this issue, address it, and we are progressing that commitment. But when amendments passed the House of Representatives, supported by the right of Labor, that have the potential impact of actually increasing the discrimination and the grounds of discrimination that can actually now be against students, we take that seriously.
