**In short: **

Six Labor MPs including assistant minister Ged Kearney want their government to change its decision not to include gender identity and sexuality in the census.

Labor frontbenchers have said the decision was made to avoid a "divisive" debate but the MPs say the government should stick to the principle in Labor's national platform.
