I have concerns regarding the new Respect at Work Bill. It is frustrating that the Premier has dismissed the concerns and requests from faith leaders. The bill will have serious implications for faith communities by giving the Anti-Discrimination Commission the power to investigate churches, mosques, and synagogues. Faith-based organisations play a vital role in the community, and this bill could affect their ability to operate according to their beliefs and values.
There is a need to ensure that the legislation balances respect at work with the rights of religious institutions. Ignoring the input from faith leaders could lead to unintended consequences that might hinder the good work these organisations do.
Could you please provide a response? Will the Government take the time to ensure that the bill is drafted correctly and consider the feedback from faith communities?
