I am not sure that I heard the Minister of State discussing this previously but it seems to me a worthy amendment. My own experience with the gutter press would lead me to conclude that quite a number of red-top newspapers would glory in getting hold of this kind of stuff and splattering it right across the front page, with a lot of sanctimonious praise for the transgendered person - "Tranny Granny drops kids off at school", and that kind of crap.

I notice there is no penalty. Had the Senator considered sticking them in the stocks and providing rotten vegetables?
