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.

Wind must have changed. At least the upside of lacking a spine is that you're able to contort yourself into all sorts of shapes with ease.

Fuck the census though, seriously who actually wants to be on it? When I grew up cops were straight up murdering us for their jollies. I've been beaten several times. Why the fuck would I want MY NAME AND ADDRESS ON AN IMMORTAL DB ALONGSIDE MY GENDER IDENTITY AND SEXUALITY?
