The Australian government is explicitly endorsing sexism, racism, transphobia, and homophobia as long as it has the flimsy veil of 'religious belief' behind it This is absolutely horrifying https://twitter.com/joshcnicholas/status/1205646995374796807 …
The first example, btw, is from a famous Australian case where a sportsman was fired for repeated public homophobic rhetoric. Under this law, that would be protected speech no matter the impact to the business, other players, or contracts etc

Rhetoric is public expression of opinion. You say freedom of expression is “horrifying”.

No, you can say what you want. Legislation should not prevent consequences of your actions, nor explicitly endorse discrimination. I'm not a fan of strawman arguments
