Unintended chaos: The legal fallout of two missing words

from The AAWAA Women’s Advocate · host Women Women

Emma and Lucy unpack the renewed debate about what Australia’s parliament really intended when it removed the definitions of “woman” and “man” from the Sex Discrimination Act back in 2013. Drawing on our 2024 analysis of the Tickle v Giggle case, we reveal how parliament failed to debate or clarify the sweeping legal changes that are now leaving women’s rights in limbo.
