Interesting that the article states:
In the guidelines, the AIS states that an outright ban of transgender athletes from a sport - similar to policies introduced by World Aquatics (formerly FINA) or World Athletics - could be in breach of Australia’s anti-discrimination laws. Instead, the framework emphasises the need for case-by-case assessments of trans athletes.
That appears to be nonsense because:
(a) Transgender athletes are not subject to “an outright ban”, they can compete in the appropriate category based on their biological sex or TM on T can compete in the open category).
(b) The Australian 1984 Sex Discrimination Act (Part II, Div. 4: 42 – Sport): ‘(1) Nothing in Division 1 or 2 renders it unlawful to discriminate on the ground of sex, gender identity or intersex status by excluding persons from participation in any competitive sporting activity in which the strength, stamina or physique of competitors is relevant.’
Point (b) is taken from this article, which shows that inclusion does not trump fairness and safety.

Equality Australia is an LGBTQI organisation and not a Government body.
The AIS guidelines are here:

Also worth noting that these guidelines do not override International Federation policies.
