They were included in an amendment to an unrelated bill Frecklington introduced yesterday.LNP accused of ‘outrageous betrayal’ after halting implementation of anti-discrimination law reformRead moreAmong other reforms, they expanded discriminatory protections to victims of domestic violence and homelessness, disabled Queenslanders and improved protections for employees subjected to sexual harassment at work. Initially the reforms were to take effect on July 1.Queensland Human Rights Commissioner Scott McDougall said the move was “a huge disappointment to me and will be to many Queenslanders who have worked tirelessly for positive change”.
