About this episode

In the lead up to the last federal election Scott Morrison promised he would introduce new laws to protect religious freedoms. 


Now the federal government has finally introduced a religious discrimination bill to parliament.


And there are concerns that they could make it easier for individuals to discriminate against marginalised communities, like the queer community, without consequence.


Today, chief political correspondent for The Saturday Paper, Karen Middleton, on what the religious discrimination bill actually entails, and why Scott Morrison is so desperate to pass it.
