\n\u201cWe saw an outrageous display from the Morrison government teaming up with Centre Alliance to push the discrimination-free schools bill off the agenda today. This means the parliament won\u2019t deal with discrimination in schools until next year,\u201d said Senator Janet Rice, Australian Greens LGBTIQ+ spokesperson.
\n\u201cBefore the Wentworth by-election the Prime Minister promised he would remove discrimination from schools as a matter of urgency. This is yet another lie from the Prime Minister.\u201d
\n\u201cThe dirty tricks displayed today demonstrate a desperate Scott Morrison\u2019s willingness to play games with the lives of LGBTQ+ people.”
\n\u201cSchools should be discrimination-free for all LGBTQ+ people – that means students, teachers and staff.\u201d
