Religious-based exemptions from anti-discrimination law: Comparing jurisdictions that permit same-sex marriage
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-19, 20:29 authored by Brendan GogartyBrendan Gogarty, Anja HilkemeijerAnja Hilkemeijer, Westbury, DIn response to the recent passage of same-sex marriage law and the establishment of a Religious Freedom Inquiry (the Ruddock Panel), there has been considerable public debate on whether current exemptions for religious bodies under anti-discrimination law should be extended to individuals with a religious or conscientious objection to same-sex marriage. The authors compared current proposals for widening exemptions in anti-discrimination legislation to the legal position in the 29 other jurisdictions which permit same-sex marriage. If proposals that are currently debated were enacted, Australia would be the only jurisdiction to wind back its protections for LGBTIQ+ individuals against discrimination.
