Anthony Albanese has delivered a message to religious communities across Australia as he attended a church service in Canberra ahead of the first sitting of the 47th Parliament.
Mr Albanese made the pledge on Tuesday while speaking to reporters outside a church in Canberra ahead of the first sitting of the 47th Parliament.
"That I respect people of faith. That all people, regardless of their faith, should be respected," he responded. "We will address the issues of religious discrimination and the need to legislate there. We'll do that during the term of Parliament," he said. "I said on election night, on May 21, that Australians voted for change and indeed they did. And we have a mandate to implement that change," he said.
