The NSW Government is in the process of reviewing the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977 (NSW).
The NSW Greens have made a submission to the review, highlighting concerns from peak advocacy bodies and community groups including the lack of protections against discrimination to all community groups who need it, significant gaps in the areas of public life where vilification and discrimination are outlawed, and the breadth of exceptions allowed within the Act. In the submission we also outline the basis for our concerns and what we consider to be additional shortcomings of the Act: its outdatedness in the fact of a radically changed culture, its concerning religious vilification protections, and its restrictive approach to accessibility and intersectionality.
