Shelley Elizabeth Hancock) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. The Speaker read the Prayer and acknowledgement of country. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE Routine of Business [Interruption] The SPEAKER: Order! If the member for Cessnock continues to behave in that manner he will be removed from the Chamber. Mr Clayton Barr: It is International Talk Like A Pirate Day. The SPEAKER: Order! I do not care what day it is. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE Notices of Motions General Business Notices of Motions (General Notices) given. ANTI-DISCRIMINATION AMENDMENT (PRIVATE EDUCATIONAL AUTHORITIES) BILL 2013 Bill introduced on motion by Mr Alex Greenwich, read a first time and printed. Second Reading Mr ALEX GREENWICH (Sydney) [10.05 a.m.]: I move: That this bill be now read a second time. School is a vital part of development and should not be a place where children and young people are subject to discrimination or unfair treatment and left exposed to abuse or bullying. Schools are places for study and personal development and the law should not allow fear and intimidation of vulnerable groups to impact on students' learning outcomes. The Anti-Discrimination Amendment (Private Educational Authorities) Bill removes the exemptions in the Anti-Discrimination Act that allow private schools and other private education institutions to discriminate against students. The Act allows for private education authorities to discriminate against people with a disability, single mums, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex teens, and other vulnerable groups. Some parts this bill will simply bring the State Act into line with the Federal Anti-Discrimination Act and other parts give students who currently do not have recourse if they believe they have been discriminated against access to the independent Anti-Discrimination Board. This is a straightforward bill that is designed simply to protect vulnerable students. Australia is a country that promotes tolerance, acceptance and equal opportunity. We recognise the special vulnerability of children and young people. So it is vital that all students are treated fairly and are given the same opportunities
