Another sitting week, another transphobe stunt

Australian Greens

Liberal Senator Alex Antic is up to his usual antics this week - introducing a virulently transphobic and homophobic bill to Parliament.

The Australian Greens LGBTIQA+ Spokesperson, Stephen Bates MP, condemns Antic's hate-fuelled stunt.

There are huge gaps in the provision of gender affirming healthcare in Australia.

That's why last election the Australian Greens called for a national LGBTIQA+ health and wellbeing action plan, new national professional standards, an extra $285m over four years in additional funding, and $15 million in dedicated funding to cover out-of-pocket costs for trans and gender diverse people trying to access gender affirming healthcare.

Australia's healthcare system is already not meeting the needs of trans people - and all the Liberal Party is trying to do is make it even worse.
