Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese stated that the 2026 census will not include questions on gender and sexual orientation since they "weren't appropriate," aiming to avoid "divisive debates."
The Prime Minister emphasized the need for simple and clearly understood questions in the upcoming census, noting that the ABS plans to test potential questions before approval.
Despite backlash from the LGBTQ+ community, the upcoming Australian Census will include at least one question related to sexuality, reflecting some inclusion amid broader criticism.
Albanese asserted the government's commitment to inclusivity, stating, "My government values every Australian, regardless of who they are, regardless of their sexuality, their race, their faith, their gender."
