ABC News: After a change of heart, some LGBTQI+ people will be included in the census — but not all

Excerpt from ABC News:

LGBTQI+ advocate Alastair Lawrie told the ABC this was “simply not good enough”.

“We know that trans and gender diverse people, and people with innate variations of sex characteristics, often have different health requirements, and can have significantly worse health outcomes, than other Australians,” he said.

By recording and analysing this data, Mr Lawrie said the government would be able to see which parts of the community need more support in health, education and other services.
