Faith no more Religious Freedom Bills give churches the freedom to discriminate On 10 December 2019, the Attorney-General’s Department published a second exposure draft of the contentious Religious Freedom Bills. Originally released in September 2019, the first exposure draft was a package of three draft Bills, which the Government described collectively as the ‘Religious Freedom Bills’– the Religious Discrimination Bill 2019 (Cth), the Religious Discrimination (Consequential Amendments) Bill 2019 (Cth) and the Human Rights Legislation Amendment (Freedom of Religion) Bill 2019 (Cth).
