There is a stigma associated with detransitioning, when someone takes a step to halt or reverse one or all aspects of their transition.聽Adelaide discusses聽their experience.
transition
The Malcolm Turnbull Coalition government's economic spin is that they are managing a 鈥渢ransition鈥 from 鈥渟trong resource investment-led growth to broader-based drivers of economic activity鈥.
This, it claims in the 2016 budget papers, is a transition to more 鈥渓abour-intensive sectors, such as services鈥. Hence the Coalition's mantra: 鈥淕rowth and jobs鈥. Sounds nice, but what does this mean for the different classes in Australia?
The casual observer might easily conclude that there are just two clear sides in the parliamentary debate over the Labor/Greens carbon price deal.
But there is a lot more to the debate than this.
Clearly the Greens are in favour, and appear to have won over PM Julia Gillard鈥檚 government to an interim carbon tax.
On the other hand, opposition leader Tony Abbott has promised a Tea Party-style uprising against it. Abbott will push to rouse a fascistic 鈥減eople鈥檚鈥 movement to try to bury the deal.
