Australian schools to be banned from discriminating against gay students: PM

No school will be allowed to exclude students based on their sexuality, under changes to be introduced by the federal government. It comes amid debate over a leaked recommendation from the review of religious freedoms, which suggests religious schools should be allowed to discriminate against students and teachers, based on their sexuality. Labor has said it will support the federal government's plan, but the Greens and sexuality advocates say it should be extended to protect teachers.
