Hey Australian friends, please sign this petition, I'd hate to loose my legal identity because of some bigots.
Edit: if you want the exact link it is: https://equalityaustralia.org.au/hands-off-our-protections/
It is a petition by Equality Australia, writing or calling your MPs directly is also totally fine and encouraged!
I don't know why, but for some reason the Equality Aust site can't even seem bothered including links to anything useful/significant (y'know, like the bill content, or any background info) so people can be informed rather than just sign something blindly. I tend to like to know what I'm agreeing/disagreeing with.
So for anyone else interested, I found the background info page with a link to the bill contents here:

@owen3d Thank you. I had to go look it up on aph and read the bill myself.
The petition is also quite vague if they want it to be tabled in parliament (at least if the language on Equality's signing page is correct - it's far from clear those are the full words of the petition). They need to be very specific with what they want parliament to do.
The private member's bill is gross and it needs better opposition than this.
