Anti-Freedom of Speech Laws in QLD – Rob Norman || 20Twenty with Neil Johnson
In this episode, Rob Norman, the State Director for the Australian Christian Lobby (ACL) in Queensland, discusses the controversial Respect at Work and Other Matters Amendment Bill 2024, which has recently passed through Queensland’s parliament. This bill, on the surface, seems to aim at improving workplace practices, but Rob argues it contains significant dangers that threaten freedom of speech and religious expression. The bill expands anti-discrimination laws, includes sexual orientation as a protected attribute, and imposes a "positive duty" on employers to promote diversity, which could result in legal consequences for individuals and institutions, including churches, that speak out on traditional Christian views about marriage and sexuality. The conversation highlights the potential chilling effect on churches, workplaces, and even individuals' private conversations, where expressing certain biblical teachings could lead to complaints and legal action. Rob explains the new powers of the Queensland Human Rights Commission and the growing influence of activists in using these laws to target Christian groups.
