No, discrimination based on sexuality is never acceptable

Agree

No, not if they accept government funding

While Labor supports this outcome, their policy approach focuses on universal human rights and amending the Sex Discrimination Act for all schools, rather than making it strictly conditional on government funding.

Yes, but only for religious leaders, not general staff

Yes, faith schools must be free to uphold their values

Labor distinguishes between the right to maintain a religious ethos (e.g., preference for hiring people of the same faith) and the right to discriminate based on sexuality, which they explicitly oppose.
