The Australian Bureau of Statistics is no longer a bad word after the postal survey, and last week Carolyne Dean from the ABS spoke at Better Together 2018, sharing the evidence they found in the 2016 census about our communities around the nation. Which was the first census where you could specify your gender as something other than male or female. Giving us a stronger picture of our gender diverse communities sit in our national picture.

The ABS are responsible for managing the consultation in the census in 2121, and while that may seem a while a way, they are starting their engagement process shortly, opening their formal submission from April to June this year.

So if you are iinterested in having a say in what is in the 2121 census, then head to the ABS website and get in touch so that what is collected in the next census is representative of the whole LGBTI community of Australia.

This segment aired on The Informer on JOY 94.9 on 17th January 2018.
