I move:

That the Senate notes:

  (a)   the new guidelines announced by the Government that make it easier for sex and gender diverse people to get a passport in their preferred gender;

  (b)   that this policy will significantly reduce the administrative burden and inconvenience caused to sex and gender diverse people who require a passport that reflects their gender and physical appearance; and

  (c)   that the initiative is in line with the Australian Government's commitment to remove discrimination on the grounds of gender identity and sexual orientation.

Question agreed to.
