Victoria’s equality minister says the government will oppose a push to examine “transgender ideology” as part of an upcoming inquiry into cults.

Earlier this month, anti-trans lobby group Binary published a blog post saying the Liberal party MP Moira Deeming was “urging people to make submissions” to the parliamentary inquiry into cults and organised fringe groups and had “shared a helpful document with suggested answers”.
