The Australian Greens oppose the changes to the Anti-Discrimination Act made by the Finocchiaro CLP government.
The reforms introduce three key changes that contradict the recommendations of the NT Anti-Discrimination Commissioner and ignore the Australian Law Reform Commission's suggestions.
“Over the past year we have repeatedly heard that the CLP will put the rights of victims over the rights of offenders. But in this instance they’re putting the right for some in our community to engage in discrimination above the rights of others in our community to be safe from discrimination.”
- Kat McNamara MLA, Member for Nightcliff
The Greens will always stand against discrimination in all its forms.
