Nationals Senate Leader Bridget McKenzie says when Anthony Albanese was Opposition Leader, he “rejected bipartisanship” on religious freedoms changes but now demands “blind bipartisanship”.
Ms McKenzie told Sky News host Sharri Markson that he previously rejected it “on mass”.
“Now that he’s Prime Minister, he’s demanding blind bipartisanship, that is outrageous,” she said.
The government is considering two pieces of draft legislation relating to religious discrimination, but the Prime Minister said they will not be proceeding unless there is bipartisan support, according to a caucus spokesperson.

One of the bills relates to protecting the rights of schools to hire on the basis of faith while also protecting students’ rights.
