We have same-sex marriage this time
This census was the first to collect data on same-sex marriages since they were legalised in 2017.
Almost 23,914 same-sex couples have married since then.
But marriage itself is trending downwards. In 2021 46.5 per cent of the population aged over 15 (side note: why they not counting from over 18 here…?) was registered as married. In 1991 that figure was 56.1 per cent.
We won’t know non-binary data until October
“Later this year, the ABS will be doing more analysis on non-binary sex responses and … working in consultation with key stakeholders in the LGBTQ+ community to understand the complexities, data quality and usefulness of the data,” an ABS spokesperson said in a statement.
