Religious discrimination bill, the one thing that is problematic in the world is currently not changing. This is something Scott Morrison wishes to change.
In an attempt to protect everyone from discrimination, some ministers have stood together to scrape the entire religious discrimination bill. Currently, the government was seeking to scrape expulsion on the grounds of sexual orientation which links to LGBTQ+ students.
According to The Guardian, the government will not commit to what it would do next. The bill was meant to be discussed in Thursday’s meeting but this did not take place. This comes as time was wasted.
In light of the coming elections within a few weeks, there might not be any chance of the religious discrimination bill being brought to the senate.
While this might be an attempt to get transgender individuals protected from discrimination by religious schools, this matter has also become a quite dangerous topic as reported by ABC News.
The LGBTQ+ community has emphasized that they are not just statistics but they are people. They are more susceptible to committing suicide or suicide thoughts than anyone else in the world. This group of people makes up people from the age of 14 to 25.

In a world where the LGBTQ+ community is looked at differently by many, a change should be in the making soon as these impact the lives of people.
Currently, only a few of the laws in the religious discrimination bill has been thought of being removed, no action has been taken on it. The principal of a College has expressed the difficulty and sensitivity of this bill. He relayed that teenagers are struggling as a result of the bill.
Here’s what he said:
“It’s really hard for some people to realize and appreciate how vulnerable some of our students are, particularly those who are going through their teenage years and working through their sexuality,” Mr. Turner said.
This is a developing story.
