www.womensforumaustralia.org/fixthesda‼️ JOIN OUR CAMPAIGN TO FIX THE SEX DISCRIMINATION ACT NOW ‼️
Giggle v Tickle has confirmed that Australian women and girls do not have secure legal protections for female-only spaces, services, sports or associations.
This is unjust, unsafe and untenable.
Women and girls deserve laws that recognise biological reality and protect their safety, dignity, privacy and fairness.
This is not a left or right issue. It is a matter of truth, justice and basic safeguarding.
Parliament could fix this today if there is the political will.
We are calling on every member of the Federal Parliament to work together with cross-party urgency to amend the Sex Discrimination Act and restore clear protections for women and girls on the basis of biological sex.

While yesterday was a big one for our region regarding fracking, I was pleased to catch up with the Radiotherapy Working Group and Health Minister Blair Boyer to discuss our ongoing campaign to see radiation treatment facilities here in the Limestone Coast.
Of all the meetings I’ve had with the government, this was certainly the most positive and I look forward to catching up with the Minister in parliament next week to continue to push for this vital service for our community.
Thanks to our brilliant working group for not stepping back from this fight and also to Minister Boyer for his genuine engagement with us. ... See MoreSee Less

Malinauskas. Fracking arrogant.
This bill should not even be coming to Parliament. We will listen to the community, and only they will tell us what should happen in this region. Not Peter Malinauskas, not Tom Koutsantonis.
Make your voice heard. ... See MoreSee Less

“To be absolutely clear, there is no suggestion whatsoever that Labor has a policy to lift that moratorium on fracking in the South East.”
Peter Malinauskas, ABC News, March 2022.
Now Labor is preparing to do exactly that.
South Australians were promised the South East fracking moratorium would remain in place, yet before the community has even been consulted, the Government is moving legislation to lift it.
The South East is one of Australia’s most important food producing regions, with farming, wine, tourism and local jobs all dependent on clean groundwater and healthy aquifers.
If Labor believes this stacks up, then it should front the community first, not announce legislation and consult later. ... See MoreSee Less
