Here’s The Labor, Liberal And Greens Scorecard On LGBT Issues
A day before the elections all three major national parties have promised the LGBTQI community equality and freedom from discrimination – but not to the same degree.
National LGBTQI advocacy organisation Equality Australia on Friday released its scorecard for Labor, Liberal and Greens, ahead of the federal elections on Saturday May 21. “Every person in Australia deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, and to work, study and access services without fear of discrimination,” said Anna Brown, CEO of Equality Australia.

The Bill was indefinitely shelved after Labor, Independents and five Liberal MPs voted for amendments to protect gay and trans students.
