    I’m confused. I thought the end result last week was that they would include the questions. But now they’re again saying it’s too hard?

      While the government has said there will be a question on sexual orientation, it has not reversed the decision to cancel work on the other questions which would give a baseline on the number of trans, gender diverse and people with variations of sex characteristics.

      I hadn’t realised this. It was reported everywhere just as the decision to cut questions having been reversed, not partially reversed.

        @[email protected] Albanese tried to weasel his way out of it by suggesting there will be one new question (relating to sexuality I think) and that existing census contained questions which could be updated.
