Gender law upsets PM

PRIME Minister Scott Morrison has savaged a “ridiculous” push to allow Tasmanian parents to choose whether to include their baby’s gender on a birth certificate.

Transgender rights reforms, put forward by the Labor opposition and the Greens, passed the Tasmanian Lower House on Tuesday night.

“Labor’s plan to remove gender from birth certificates in Tasmania is ridiculous,” Mr Morrison tweeted yesterday.

The Tasmanian Government is opposed to the reforms, describing them as “deeply flawed”.
