An equality campaigner has called Prime Minister Anthony Albanese “gutless” for abandoning plans to scrap the exemption that allows faith-based schools to discriminate against staff and students on the basis of their gender or sexuality. James Elliot-Watson — who said he was punished by his Christian school for being gay — said he is incensed by Mr Albanese’s decision not to proceed with the contentious reform, warning that it will lead to more young LGBTQ+ people being harmed.
