My question is to the Minister representing the Attorney-General. I refer to the government's decision to abandon legislation to consolidate Commonwealth human rights law and include additional protections, in spite of years of discussion, raised community expectations and an extensive Senate inquiry. I ask: can the minister confirm the government is abandoning victims of domestic violence, leaving religious organisations free to discriminate and giving up on the opportunity to make it easier for people to enforce their human rights?
