Notable contrast between the PM’s comment and the US State Dept comments on the Chinese Government’s latest ramming of a vessel from the Phillipines.

There’s a 50-year-old male running in the female category at the Paralympics - which means a woman who should have made the semi-finals didn’t get to. It’s incredible that sporting bodies and politicians think it’s acceptable to treat women’s sport this way.

Petrillo just came within 3 hundredths of a second of breaking the *world record* for V50 women - currently held by GBR’s Sally Cooke. Also a new Italian Para record by 4 seconds which is miles over 400m. This record now surely out of female hands forever. Thanks Marco Alciator🙏

Also a notable contrast between the PM’s comments and this statement unattributed to any Minister or official. dfat.gov.au/news/media-rel…

Congratulations to everyone who knew single-sex sport for women was important long before we reached this point.

Human rights expert Reem Alsalem UNSR Violence Against Women and Girls Reem Alsalem expresses concern over #Australia Federal Court's decision further eroding rights to female-only spaces. "The ruling demonstrates concrete consequences that result when gender identity is allowed to supplant sex." is.gd/uMbYnJ

“We give missiles to Hezbollah, Hamas, and Hashd al-Shaabi, so why not to Russia?" In case there was any doubt the IRI regime is a threat to international security, a quote from a member of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee.

The Senate has supported my motion requiring the Government to produce a copy of its funding agreement with UNRWA which it has previously refused to release. The Government paid $6 million to UNRWA while it was still employing staff who participated in the October 7 atrocities.

When people like Minister Wells and Kieren Perkins who refuse to support single-sex sport for women claim to be doing something for women in sport, always read the fine print.   Under this policy, a board could be 100% biologically male and meet the Albanese Government’s ‘gender

Now that the Albanese Govt and Australian Sports Commission support pulling taxpayer funding from sports over the make-up of Boards, what’s the excuse for not applying that standard to sports which don’t even offer guaranteed single-sex female sport?

This is exactly right. There are so many diplomatic avenues for putting pressure on the IRI regime that are yet to be implemented by western countries.

The Labor Government which frequently calls legitimate criticism of their policies “misinformation” wants to legislate against “misinformation”. theaustralian.com.au/nation/politic…

It’s appalling that Labor and the Greens teamed up in the Senate to deny the right for Senator Hanson to introduce her bill to amend the Sex Discrimination Act. We have a law so broken that courts are saying sex is defined by what you wear and are punishing women for offering

Senator Claire Chandler I think they’re terrified of citizens finding out what they actually did.

Two years on from the death of Mahsa Amini, the Australian Senate will today debate the ongoing repression of women and girls in Iran.

My response to the Albanese Govt and the Greens teaming up to deny Australian women and girls the right to single-sex spaces.

As the Senate Inquiry I chaired said in our report this week, Australia should as a default position be providing retiring or surplus defence equipment to Ukraine.

Sending retired M1A1 tanks to 🇺🇦 was a key recommendation of our senate committee inquiry. Good to see media reports the govt is now considering doing so. smh.com.au/politics/feder…
