The Albanese government is facing its second wave of internal dissent in the space of weeks, as Labor politicians vent their dismay over a decision not to collect sexuality and gender identity data in the next census.

**In short: **

Six Labor MPs including assistant minister Ged Kearney want their government to change its decision not to include gender identity and sexuality in the census.

Labor frontbenchers have said the decision was made to avoid a “divisive” debate but the MPs say the government should stick to the principle in Labor’s national platform.

    I would have thought that references to the “Labor Party” and “MPs” (things that do not exist in the USA) was a pretty big hint that this story wasn’t American.
