• While preparing for retirement can be difficult for anyone, LGBTQ+ Americans face unique challenges that can cast a shadow over their golden years.
• We used data from 2019 to 2021 to compare the nearly 500 LGBTQ+ respondents age 60 and older with their cisgender counterparts.
• Retired LGBTQ+ respondents were somewhat younger and more likely to leave the workforce for reasons other than reaching traditional retirement age.
• What still isn’t known
  Recent research shows that most older Americans can’t afford their share of health care costs or long-term care.

• This was not the first time it had taken such a step.
• These moves have attracted a significant amount of criticism because they come so soon after the state’s Human Rights Act was adopted.
• In addition, overriding the Human Rights Act twice could create a pattern we should be extremely concerned about.

International human rights protections

• International conventions broadly obligate parties to make the best interests of children a primary consideration in all actions concerning them.
• These conventions and applicable international standards also assert that the incarceration of children should be a last resort and juveniles should be treated in an age-appropriate way in criminal justice proceedings.
• The Queensland government relied on these specific international human rights protections when it drafted its Human Rights Act, which I have extensively reviewed in my new book (written with Peter Billings).

Youth offenders and detention

• But consequences for youth offenders must take into account their age, intellectual and physical development and disabilities, and potential for rehabilitation.
• In other words, youth offenders should not be held in detention facilities with adults.
• However, there is overwhelming evidence that youth detention does not necessarily make communities safer or deter or rehabilitate young offenders.

Concerning trend of legislative overrides

• In 2015, a review of the charter recommended the repeal of the override power, calling it unnecessary and unhelpful.
• Surprisingly, no such overrides were declared either in Victoria or Queensland – the two states that have human rights laws with this provision – during the COVID-19 public health emergency.
• The Human Rights Act itself is an ordinary law, which means future governments could dilute, amend or even repeal it.
• The Act can also be weakened if the parliament overrides its protections too many times.
