Australia politics live news updates: religious discrimination bill goes to Senate after marathon debate
Mark Dreyfus said this morning it had been a “shocking process” to get the religious discrimination bill through the house. “This parliament , if invited to work on a bipartisan process can produce legislation in contentious areas that serves to unite our country and not further divide it,” he told ABC radio.Dreyfus is confident the senate will support further changes, such as adding an anti-vilification provision, and removing the bill’s ability to override state legislation.
