*************************
I am writing to express my concerns regarding the recent "Respect at Work" bill. It is disappointing that the Premier has dismissed the concerns and requests from faith leaders. The bill, while well-intentioned, carries serious implications for faith communities. One major issue is the potential for anti-vilification provisions to be easily weaponised by one minority group against another, causing unnecessary conflict and tension.
Given these concerns, I would like to know if the Government is willing to meet with faith leaders to discuss the bill's ramifications more thoroughly. It is crucial to ensure that all voices are heard and that the legislation serves its intended purpose without unintended negative consequences.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
