The Australian Sex Discrimination Commissioner has said "The laws in the UK are not the laws of Australia. Our laws should reflect inclusion, respect and the right of all people to live with dignity." While this is strictly accurate, it seems to me (not a lawyer) that Australian law suffers from much the same inconsistencies about sex / gender that resulted in the SC ruling. Do any legal minds know how this is likely to impact on cases like Giggle v Tickle or Lesbian Action Group? IIRC the plan for Giggle v Tickle was to argue that the addition of gender identity in the sex discrimination act was unconstitutional - does the SC ruling open the door to a simpler argument that trans rights are protected under Gender Identity, and female rights are protected under Sex?

Sall on Twitter today says she is optimistic.

but my local shopping centre has a polling place. I plan to go in every day and ask the volunteers, particularly the Greens, a question or two.
