Senator CASH (Western Australia—Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:21): Again, the Morrison-Joyce government has made its position very, very clear. Senator Rice interjecting— Senator CASH: Yes we have, Senator Rice. If you actually believed in protections, you would have read the amendment that passed the House of Representatives last night. There are very, very serious potential consequences for sections 38 and 37 of the Sex Discrimination Act because of the way it is drafted. Do you know what it has the effect of, Mr President? Potentially increasing the grounds for discrimination against students and prospective students. The PRESIDENT: Senator Rice, on a point of order? Senator Rice: It's a point of order again on relevance. My question was on whether trans, gender-diverse and non-binary people, including students at school, deserve the same protection from discrimination. The PRESIDENT: I was listening to the minister's answer and I believe she was being relevant to the question. Minister, you have 16 seconds remaining. Senator CASH: Let me be very clear about the potential impact of the amendment that you supported last night. It seeks to protect students on the basis of gender identity. It leaves out protections for those in the intersex community. This is why you need to properly understand the consequences of amendments that you make. (Time expired)
