When I started talking about the erosion of women’s rights more than five years ago, @salltweets was one of the first women I spoke to who shared her story.
She has been in the trenches fighting bravely and consistently for the rights of Australian women and girls to have their own spaces, sports and services - not because she wanted to, but because she had to.
It was great to catch up with Sall in Parliament House this week between estimates hearings (me) and back to back meetings with colleagues to explain how our laws no longer protect women (her).
This is an incredibly important fight, and I’m proud to see so many of my Coalition colleagues, including our leader Angus Taylor, standing alongside Sall.
🚨 BREAKING: A first term Coalition Government will fix the Sex Discrimination Act.
Women and girls deserve to have their rights to sports, spaces and services protected at law.
STATEMENT BY @AngusTaylorMP
Yesterday the Full Federal Court confirmed that Australian law does not properly protect single sex spaces for women and girls. Most Australians would find that hard to believe. A coalition government I lead will fix this. We will amend the Sex Discrimination Act to ensure that women and girls (and men and boys) have protections based on biological sex.
We will define biological sex in the Act. Male or female. The sex you are born. And we will protect single-sex spaces across Australian life.
This is not radical. It is common sense.
Let me be clear about what this is not. This is not about targeting transgender Australians. Every protection they currently have remains. We are not removing a single protection from anyone. But we are recognising something that should never have been in doubt: biological sex is real, it matters, and women and girls deserve spaces where it is respected.
This will be a first-term priority.
The Prime Minister now has a simple question to answer. Does he believe women and girls deserve protections based on biological sex?
Today’s ruling on Tickle v Giggle shows what I’ve known for some time: the Sex Discrimination Act no longer protects the rights of women and girls to their own spaces, services and sports.
My Save Women’s Sports Bill 2022 went some of the way to fix this, but the decision today makes clear that more must be done to ensure women’s and girls’ fairness, dignity, and safety are guaranteed at law.
I commend the incredible @salltweets for her brave fight - she’s an absolute champion.
⛽$2.55 billion to slash fuel excise and heavy vehicles charges for 3 months but no offset. The Albanese Labor Government has zero fiscal discipline. ⚠
🚨The Coalition opposes the Albanese government to add 42 more parliamentarians in Canberra. Labor can't get its priorities right❗

🇦🇺Australia entered this fuel ⛽️ crisis with higher debt and fewer economic buffers. The Albanese government can’t deny responsibility.💸
#auspol #fuelsecurity
⛽🇦🇺 Yes, the shortages are real 👉 500+ service stations already affected.

Big news today that the IOC has confirmed its new eligibility policy and finally protected the female category.
It’s time for Aus sports bodies to do the same.
The AOC should be doing what all sporting organisations around the world are doing, and recognising that female athletes want to have their sporting categories protected.
My interview with @carolinemarcus on the latest developments in the fight for women's sport
🚨 December 2025: Treasurer Jim Chalmers says $20B in savings.
💸 March 2026: Parliament approves $22B in extra spending.
⚠️ Something doesn’t add up.

⛽️⚠️ Service stations are running dry, but the Albanese Government can’t answer simple questions about this fuel crisis
✂️ Trimming a few nice-to-haves shouldn’t stop the public service from attracting talent 👥🏛️

📻 Government spending is out of control, and now the RBA is raising interest rates. Anthony Albanese and Jim Chalmers can’t manage the Australian economy
#auspol
⁉️The Albanese government can't even recognise the economic problem they're facing - so how can they ever hope to solve it?⁉️
#auspol
❗You don't tax something if you want to make or create more of it.

My thoughts and prayers are with the brave people of Iran tonight.
The Islamic Republic of Iran regime is pure evil. It murders its own citizens, abuses human rights, and has facilitated violent atrocities through its proxies in the Middle East.
For too long, this regime has spread terror throughout the world, including in Australia. It is my greatest hope that this ends now, and the people of Iran will be free.
