Press Release: Senate denies rights for Australian women

Senate denies rights for Australian women

Hard-won rights for Australian women under attack from trans activism have been denied by Labor and the Greens in the Senate today.
One Nation leader Senator Pauline Hanson’s legislation to re-insert definitions for biological men and women in the Sex Discrimination Act was denied introduction while the Senator herself was denied her right to speak in the chamber.


Senator Hanson said Labor and Green hypocrisy was on full display after they had supported a bill on a code of conduct requiring respect for diverse views in Parliament.
“Labor and the Greens only respect views which align with their own,” she said.


“They are hypocrites of the highest order, refusing to even debate legislation aimed at protecting sex-based rights that generations of Australian women have fought for over many decades.


They’re refusing the debate because their position is indefensible. Human biology with men and women defined by chromosomes and physical features is a reality which cannot be denied.
“These hard-won rights and private spaces are now under attack by trans activism, with men claiming to be women swooping in and taking them from biological women. This was what we saw in the recent case involving Sall Grover’s ‘Giggle’ app.


“Labor and the Greens claim to support women’s rights, but their conduct today demonstrates they do not. Biological women seeking protection from men intruding on their privacy have no support from these hypocrites who think contrived gender identities are more important than human biological reality.


“Labor and the Greens have net-zero empathy for biological women in Australia, and net-zero respect for the generations of Australian women who sacrificed so much to win their rights.


“This is not the end of it. This issue will be brought to an honest and frank debate in the seat of Australian democracy. I will never stop fighting for the rights of real Australian women.”
