    Bill Shorten has shut down reports a government he leads would erase gender from birth certificates and drivers licences https://trib.al/2sqlVAK  #auspol

        So the @Australian makes shit up to pander to an ever decreasing customer base. Birth Certificates and drivers licenses are a state responsibility how was Federal Labor ever going to do what you claimed?

        Bill Shorten says a lot of things. So too does Daniel Andrews. It's important to look at what they DO not what they say. Labor's hijacked by LGBT+ activists & panders to minorities. It doesn't respect Australia's heritage, freedom of religion, conscience or speech. #VicVotes2018

        Drivers licences are a state responsibility & I think birth registrations are too. Hence rogue states could get this implemented which would be disgraceful.

        Look at your driver's licence. Gender isn't on it in most Australian states including Vic, NSW. You just got played by Miranda Devine, congratulations.

        Good to hear @billshortenmp but are birth registrations a state responsibility. In Tas the Greens & Labour are pushing for gender free birth certificates & while opposed by the Lib Gov the ‘green’ Lib Speaker could get it passed.

        huh? there's no gender on drivers licenses now. also birth certs and drivers licenses are both **state government** things anyway? so that leaves passports and is gender necessary on a passport? gawd, all a bit of a strawman to get people in a lather methinks

        It’s interesting to look at all the subjects in the draft ALP platform? It includes 64 mentions of sexual orientation, LGBTIQ, transgenderism et al. And @billshortenmp and @AustralianLabor say conservatives are obsessed with people’s sexuality?! #auspol
