| Community attitudes to discrimination legislation report |
Image: iStockphoto01 July 2009A strong majority (85%) of Australians support federal laws protecting Australians from discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity (42% strongly support, 43% support).

Levels of support are slightly higher amongst females (87% support) than males (84% support), amongst white collar households (88% support) than blue collar households (82% support) and slightly higher amongst those who live in capitals cities (87% support) than those who live in regional Australia (83% support).
