CWN Editor's Note: A parliamentary inquiry in the Australian state of Tasmania issued a 225-page report on discrimination and bullying in Tasmanian schools.
Brian Mitchell, the member of parliament who chaired the committee, highlighted “the bullying and discrimination faced by LGBTIQA+ students in Tasmania’s Catholic schools.”
“We owe it to every young Tasmanian to provide schools that are both temples of learning and sanctuaries, where they feel nurtured, heard, safe, and secure, not dread, fear, and anxiety,” Mitchell said.
