Only 1% of Australians say protecting religious freedom is a priority* yet Australia's parliament looks set to rush new laws through.
Despite a review led by Philip Ruddock finding no threat to religious freedom in Australia the Morrison Government plans to introduce a "religious freedom" law that may allow legal discrimination against LGBTIQ+ people.
Tell the Government that everyone's rights should be protected, not just some.
Tell the Government to legislate against LGBTIQ+ discrimination, not for it.
Tell Scott Morrison, Anthony Albanese, Richard Di Natale and the cross bench to carefully analyse any proposed amendments to ensure it protects all Australians, not just the 1%.
Sign the petition and then, if you'd like to elevate your activism, you can send a letter to the party leaders on the next page.

Petition text
To Scott Morrison, Anthony Albanese, Richard di Natale, Centre Alliance, Jacquie Lambie
From the Undersigned Residents of Australia
We are concerned that a new religious freedom law may be used to undermine equal rights for LGBTIQ+ people
We ask that:
- You oppose legislation that potentially removes the protections LGBTIQ+ Australians currently have from discrimination.
- You remove existing exemptions from anti-discrimination law that allow LGBTIQ+ people to be discriminated against by faith-based schools, hospitals and charities
- You do not support legislation that protects religious freedom at the expense of other rights and freedoms
- You support a national Human Rights Act that will protect the rights of all Australians equally
