Gender & LGBTQ+ policy verified

Freedom of speech verified
Voted to agree to the Legislative Council's amendment deleting 'or recklessly' from the new obstruction offence in the Summary Offences (Obstruction of Public Places) Amendment Bill 2023, which amended the obstruction offence in the Summary Offences Act 1953, narrowing it to intentional conduct (House of Assembly, in committee, 31 May 2023; Ayes 23, Noes 11).
