Victorian backbencher Josh Burns said on Thursday afternoon that he had made “representations inside government” after Labor on Sunday walked back a pledge — contained in its 2023 national platform — to count the queer community in the 2026 Census.
“I think that the Census … is a really important tool to be able to gather data; to be able to gather information that feeds into the delivery of government services to hopefully get better health outcomes,” Burns told ABC television on Thursday.
He said the LGBTIQ+ community “deserves to be included” and the government needed to consider its decision.
Burns also broke ranks with his party in May, over its decision to back a non-binding United Nations General Assembly resolution that recommended the Security Council “favourably” reconsider Palestinians gaining full membership.
