Create a dedicated LGBTIQA+ anti-discrimination commissioner — back it or block it?

The Greens' Senator Nick McKim introduced this bill today. It would create a new Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Sex Characteristics Discrimination Commissioner within the Australian Human Rights Commission. Because it was only just introduced and the debate was adjourned after the sponsor's speech, only the case for the bill is on the record so far — no opposing argument has been made, and this card does not invent one.
