Mr President, I have a supplementary question. Can the minister confirm that the new bill to expand antidiscrimination measures to GLBTI people will still allow religious bodies who receive public funding to provide schools, hospitals, welfare and aged-care services to the community to discriminate against GLBTI people? If so, doesn't this demonstrate the government would rather appease the Australian Christian lobby in an election year than uphold the rights of the GLBTI community? (Time expired)
