The Australian Association of Christian Schools (AACS) has welcomed the commitment made by Northern Territory Attorney-General Marie-Claire Boothby during Estimates yesterday to restore legal protections that allow religious schools to employ staff based on their faith.
AACS Executive Officer, Vanessa Cheng, said the move was an important step toward ensuring that religious freedom is properly recognised alongside other rights in the Territory’s discrimination laws. “We commend Attorney-General Boothby for acknowledging the need to restore these important protections for our schools,” Ms Cheng said. AACS supports the NT Government’s direction and looks forward to working constructively as the reforms progress.
