Richmond electorate
Gabrielle DE VIETRI (Richmond) (14:41): (316) My question is for the Attorney-General. Anti-trans vilification is escalating. My constituents are being targeted in their workplaces, at civic events and even in their homes. This week the Victorian Pride Lobby and the Trans Justice Project released a report on experiences of transphobia. One in two respondents experienced anti-trans hate, and one in 10 have been subjected to anti-trans violence. This report is a warning. Transphobia is on the rise under our watch, and we need to act now before it is too late. The queer community is asking for the bare minimum when they call on us to expand anti-vilification laws to protect the LGBTIQA+ community. Your government has voted down every attempt to change things since 2019, saying that you are working on it. So Attorney-General, what progress have you made to expand anti-vilification laws before it is too late?
