Parliament is expected to vote on the federal government’s revised religious discrimination bill and amendments to the Sex Discrimination Act within days, after a Coalition partyroom meeting endorsed the reforms on Monday. Prime Minister Scott Morrison urged Coalition MPs to back the reforms, warning that the government faces the prospect of losing the upcoming election if it does present a united front. However, some Liberal MPs have expressed reservations about the religious discrimination bill, and Bass MP Bridget Archer says she cannot support the bill in its current form.

Public campaigns are more effective in combating sex discrimination than relying on examining the complaints of individual workers. Victoria’s Human Rights & Equal Opportunity Commissioner Kate Jenkins believes that people are reluctant to talk about sexual harassment because of fear of repercussions at work. She favours a campaign-based approach to the problems of sex discrimination, sexual harassment and predatory behaviour in employment.
