The independent senator said excluding questions on gender identity and sex characteristics from the next Census was 'irresponsible and divisive'.
Independent senator Lidia Thorpe has called on the federal government to include more questions about the LGBTIQ+ community in the next Census, saying not doing so would "harm" intersex, transgender and gender-diverse Australians. Labor pledged in its 2023 national platform that the LGBTIQ+ community would be counted in the 2026 Census.
"Robust data is needed as a matter of priority to inform health, wellbeing, and suicide prevention initiatives in the TGD community," Coroner Ingrid Giles' wrote in her report on the death of one of the women, Bridget Flack , which was handed down last Thursday.
