CORRECTIVE SERVICES — TRANSGENDER AND GENDER DIVERSE INMATES

1308. Hon Alison Xamon to the minister representing the Minister for Corrective Services:

I refer to transgender and gender diverse individuals in prisons across Western Australia, and the important role hormone replacement therapy plays in maintaining their health and wellbeing, and I ask:

(a) is hormone replacement therapy available to transgender and gender diverse inmates;

Private religious schools can still legally discriminate against LGBTIQ+ students, teachers and parents. This means schools can refuse to employ or sack teachers based on their sexual orientation or gender history, refuse to enrol the children of LGBTIQ+ parents and exclude young people who identify as LGBTIQ+.

This great injustice remains legal because faith-based schools still have religious exemptions under the Equal Opportunity Act (WA) 1984.
