From a report by a Telstra Employee:
Millions of Australians don’t want to fall foul of the anti-discrimination laws that come with same-sex marriage – because these laws would be used as legal weapons to prosecute anyone who won’t conform.
Many Australian employees are already coming under increasing pressure to comply with increasingly restrictive policies around “politically correct” speech, and are being compelled to participate in LGBTQI pride events at work.
A Telstra employee says:
“Even though I declined to attend the ‘Wear It Purple’ Day meeting, I have since been re-sent the meeting invite by an Executive Director – 6 times! The meeting invite says staff are ‘required’ (not ‘optional’) attendees.”
It will only get worse if same-sex marriage is legalised in Australia.

Dear Josephus,

You need to broaden your reading.
Seriously.

It seems that you are relying on the infamous -
Miranda Devine (unfortunately, not so devine),
and the rubbish of the Daily Telegraph
both of which have little credibility
especially when they print articles that use
terms like "The Rainbow
Gestapo - aka the Waffen SSM" and then they criticise
the "illiberal" nature of LGBTIQ activism.

How can any rational person give this sort of
nonsense any credibility

Foxy,
Sounds like your hate speech for Miranda Devine, which is now identified by George Brandis as considered a crime in the SSM debate.

Give the evidence that Telstra did not enforce its ruling

Dear Josephus,

Give the evidence that they did.

The Daily Telegraph and Ms "Devine"
are not credible sources.

cont'd ...

BTW: criticising a journalist for their
bigoted unsupported and non factual
writing is not "hate speech."

But using language like "Rainbow Gestapo,
aka the Waffen SSM" certainly is!
