“There’s too much sexism and homophobia and racism in our society for me to want to expose myself to that, and my family.” Wong said.

Senator Wong said when she entered politics there were very few women, nobody who was Asian and nobody who was gay. The senator says running for the lower house simply wasn’t an option.

In the interview Senator Wong also addresses her controversial support of the Labor governments’ policy that supported marriage being limited to opposite gender participants.

Senator Wong said she preferred to work internally changing the policy while publicly supporting the party line.
