A new poll conducted by LBGT activists has shown that 4 out of 5 Australians oppose religious schools expelling students and firing staff based on their sexulaitiy.
However the Catholic church, Anglican diocese of Sydney and Christian Schools Australia refute claims of discrimination stating they have a right to religious freedom.
Deputy Labor leader Tanya Plibersek says Labor has no plans in removing existing religious exemptions allowing schools to remove staff and students based on sexuality.
