Senate passes protection bill around marriage equality campaigning
The Senate has passed laws which will see same-sex marriage campaigners fined up to $9,514.20 for any conduct which vilifies, intimidates or threatens people for their stance on the postal survey or based on their religious convictions, gender identity, intersex status or sexual orientation.
The laws also provide protections for both sides of the debate, noting those who want a particular outcome from the survey cannot be denied membership to a union, club or body and must be allowed to continue employment.
