A big thank you to the Hobart Mercury for publishing my article about what remains to be done despite Tasmania leading the nation on financial redress for victims of our former laws against homosexuality and cross-dressing. As you’ll see, there’s quite a bit.

Yesterday, the Australian newspaper said Tasmania has banned trans women from women’s prisons. Today, the Hobart Mercury reported that’s not true and the TasGov continues to allow trans women to be held in the state’s women’s prison.

Some groups continue to use extreme examples to seek blanket bans on trans women, this time in Tasmanian women’s prison.
The current TasGov case-by-case approach is a sensible one that protects all women. Equality Tasmania has asked the Government to maintain and develop it.

Here’s us before briefing the Tas Upper House today on a hate-crime sentencing bill.
The law is the best in the nation for the range of people it protects and the way it identifies prejudice and hate.
The bill will likely be debated in the Upper House in November.
