Last year, Just.Equal released new research about how LGBTIQA+ Australians voted in the 2022 and 2019 elections. (see survey results here).

Among the respondents there was a marked shift from voting Labor in 2019 to voting Green or independent in 2022. Those who shifted cited Labor’s support for the Religious Discrimination Bill as a major reason. It’s clear Labor has a lot of work to do to win back disaffected LGBTIQA+ voters.

We are talking to Labor members about the survey in order to prompt a stronger stand on LGBTIQA+ issues, especially LGBTIQA+ discrimination in faith-based schools and services.
