The prime minister overturns a decision earlier this week to omit a new question on sexuality being added to the national census, after several Labor MPs spoke out against the move.

In short:

Anthony Albanese has backed down on a decision not to add a question on sexuality to the next census.

The federal government intended to omit a new question out of fear it could create “divisive” debate.

What’s next?

The next census will be held in 2026.
