In a word? Grim. Tomorrow, the fight for a fairer and more just world continues. It is never going to be easy but it’s a fight we must have. Neoliberalism is incapable of saving us from the far right, fascism, and climate change. Bold, structural change is our only hope.

Voting Greens means you not only elect a representative who doesn’t take corporate money and fights for the community’s interest, you’ll also force a more progressive Labor party. If you want a more progressive politics in QLD, it’s time to vote Greens.

The Greens will be seeking a meeting with the Minister about the ABS’ recommendations regarding questions on variations of sex characteristics and to understand how the government plans to work with the intersex community going forward.

How are these questions remotely complicated? I trust the ABS and the expert panel put together for these questions in the census more than I trust the vibes-based approach of the PM.

Are these questions inherently divisive? No Are these questions too complex for people to understand? No Is it time for the Govt to commit to including all 3 questions (plus the question on sex) in the 2026 Census? Absolutely #auspol #aushealth #Census
