About this episode
There are laws in Australia that desperately need to be overhauled and amended for the modern era..
But even with almost universal agreement that these laws need to be updated, the challenge is to get our politicians to agree on how to rewrite them.
This is exactly the situation we find ourselves in on reforms to religious discrimination – which still protects religious schools' right to discriminate against LGBTQ+ students and teachers.
Today, columnist for The Saturday Paper Paul Bongiorno, on how today’s parliament is failing to break a decade of political gridlock.
