No, not bathroom breaks, but sports in schools.

Transgender comments threaten Perrottet’s minority government

The NSW Coalition’s shaky grasp on government is under threat as a key independent warns he will no longer guarantee supply and confidence if Premier Dominic Perrottet continues to make damaging statements about transgender children and sport.

Sydney MP Alex Greenwich has confirmed that he would withdraw his support for the government if Perrottet’s rhetoric about children’s sport continues.

Fellow independent Greg Piper has not yet decided to end his deal with the government to ensure supply and confidence, but said he was “appalled” by Perrottet’s comments and would consider his options.

The premier this week publicly weighed into the debate on excluding transgender people from women’s sports, triggered by inflammatory comments by the embattled Liberal candidate for Warringah, Katherine Deves.

Note: In Australia the Liberal Party = RW/conservative. It began as a centrist party in the 1940s but has been heading right ever since.
