What was decided

The majority voted in favour of the following amendment:

At the end of the motion, add:

"and the Childhood Gender Transition Prohibition Bill 2023 not be referred to a committee".

This amendment was introduced by Tasmanian Senator Nick McKim (Greens), who explained that:

Trans folks in our community put up with an awful lot. They are attacked on a daily basis. They are attacked for who they are as humans. Their very existence as people is called into doubt by extremist fascists who are transphobes. The amount of rubbish that you see just on social media, on an unprotected platform, is appalling. We are not going to facilitate providing parliamentary privilege to those kinds of people. Trans rights are human rights.
