Australian senator stands up for women and JK Rowling

[334bu]

A speech blasting denial of importance of sex. Worth a watch.

Fantastic!!

Thats great

“During Senate estimates both Sport Australia and the AHRC refused point blank to name the organisations they consulted with as part of developing these guidelines. When I queried them about the practical implications of the suggestions in the guidelines, both organisations were evasive.”

Claire Chandler is 30, good to see a young woman on board

That was very clear and forthright. Well done Senator Chandler.

Excellent speech. Hope it gets loads of coverage

Wow great speech.

Plain speaking. Women’s rights should not be traded off fo4 diversity

Well done Senator Chandler! I wish I could think of a female MP in the New Zealand Parliament who would speak as forthrightly on this subject, but none come to mind more's the pity.

Fantastic speech.

Hopefully more ppl will now see it thanks to link.

Wow she was amazing. Her voice didn't even quiver, despite the topic and the potential abuse she might face. I hope she doesn't get any, obvs. Good on her though. You see, JKR has inspired a lot Women to be brave and speak up. Even I've been posting links and reports on my FB. JK gave me the guts to do it because she took one for the team and I'm proud to stand with her. 💪

I believe it got a great deal of positive coverage.

It also comes after some major flack to the Australian Academy of Science adopting ‘anyone who identifies’ as being a woman as a woman.

It will be interesting to see how this continues to play out in the media.

Thank you Senator Chandler!

Excellent. Thank you Claire.

Wow!

Excellent

This is great, she was great.

Fantastic speech.

This is so good to see. Women speaking up, and not being cowed into silence by male rage and, sadly, some other women's eager complicity.

Excellent

Fantastic.

What party does she belong to?

(Please please please make it be a lefty party!)

Wonderful speech. Not sure how big MN is in Oz but I hope she knows we're rooting for her.

Great speech. Such a clear argument too

Fantastic. Thank you, Senator❤️

Wow, goosebumps!

Brilliant speech.
