From the article :
”Professor Paula Gerber, from Monash University's Law Faculty, told Workplace Express Australia that the ruling had significant implications for employers seeking to address the under-representation of women in male-dominated industries.”
“She said the decision made it 'crystal clear' that employers could not exclude transgender women from initiatives aimed at improving women's representation in the workforce.”
The Workplace Express would be interesting to read. The article is behind a paywall though.
this is the summary on the page.

“Giggle ruling means employers cannot exclude trans women
The High Court's refusal to hear an appeal against the Giggle for Girls v Tickle ruling means employers cannot exclude transgender women when they seek to hire women to address historic under-representation in the workforce, a human rights law expert says.”
what is interesting though is that Gerber also was reported to celebrate the decision supporting Tickle on a post by ABC Queer on instagram

And has been very vocally supportive in general of Tickle’s case.

I can only assume, because I cannot read the article, that Gerber probably supports that situation. Yet the DM article makes it sound like she might have concerns with this….
“She said the decision made it 'crystal clear' that employers could not exclude transgender women from initiatives aimed at improving women's representation in the workforce.”
Maybe she has realised the significance of the decision now?
