The Australian Parliament is currently considering the Religious Discrimination Bill, 2019 - which is currently on its second exposure draft. The Bill is motivated by what some Christians view as increasing discrimination against religion and the religious, and specifically Christianity in Australian society. The two factors motivating the Bill at this time have been the passing of Marriage Amendment (Definitions and Religious Freedom) Act, 2017; and the Israel Folau incident, in which Israel Folau was sacked by the Australian Rugby Union for making claims on his Instagram account about about supposed fate of homosexuals and atheists (among others) in the hands of a purportedly good God.
