Press Release: New legislation To Acknowledge Biological Reality

Legislation amending the Sex Discrimination Act to acknowledge biological reality over contrived gender identities will be introduced to the Senate today by One Nation.

Party leader Senator Pauline Hanson said the move was aimed at protecting the rights, privacy and safe spaces for biological women.

“As we saw in the case of Sall Grover’s ‘Giggle’ app, biological women’s private spaces and rights are being attacked by biological men,” Senator Hanson said. “This platform was intended to provide a safe space for biological women free from the harassment often experienced by women online.

“However the court ruled in favour of a biological male who had changed their gender identity, allowing them access to this woman-only space.”

Senator Hanson warned the Labor government not to allow the Greens to block the introduction of One Nation’s Sex Discrimination (Acknowledging Biological Reality) Bill.
“The Greens have always moved to block any examination or scrutiny of gender ideology, identity politics and its many victims,” Senator Hanson said.

“Along with Labor, David Pocock and Jacqui Lambie, the Greens have blocked a number of enquiries into the massive increase in Australian children presenting with gender dysphoria and being treated with puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.

“They have all ignored the pleas of Australian women to protect their private spaces, and protect their safety in sports, from biological men who have ‘transitioned’.

“Generations of Australian women have fought for their rights and equality with men, only for transgender men to swoop in and take those hard-won rights for themselves.”
One Nation’s legislation seeks to reverse the amendment made to the SDA under the Gillard Labor Government which inserted gender identity and removed the definition of men and women.

“Our intention is to return the definition of men and women to their original meaning, as defined by human biology,” Senator Hanson said. “This is about acknowledging reality.”
