Alex Greenwich's
“Equality” legislation
Alex Greenwich, the independent member for Sydney, has introduced a bill called the “Equality” bill. The bill has been before Parliament since mid-2023, and has been extended multiple times.
If it is passed, this bill will:
- slash religious protections for churches and schools
- allow people to change their sex on their birth certificate at any time
- allow children bypass their parents to get medical treatment and surgery
- and legalise commercial surrogacy
A heavily changed version of the “Equality” Bill has been passed by the NSW Parliament.

The Parliamentary Committee tasked with considering this bill have released their report, which found that over 85% of people responding to their survey were opposed to the legislation.
The Government needs to listen to its own survey and reject this bill.
Unlike other bills, the “Equality Bill” does not just address a single issue. Instead, the bill is 50 pages long and makes large, complex and wide-reaching changes to NSW laws. If passed, this bill will:
amend
20
different pieces of NSW legislation.
change over
80
sections of NSW laws.
insert over
50
new provisions into the NSW statute book.
impact over
10
different areas of the law, including anti-discrimination, the safety of children, prostitution, mental health, commercial surrogacy, the administration of the public service and the criminalisation of speech.
