Accountability for Discrimination by Hobart City Council

Like millions of other people, I know that humans cannot change sex. I also know that women need and deserve female-only sports and some spaces for safety, fairness, privacy and dignity reasons.

​I hold what are becoming known as 'gender-critical' political beliefs. 

I'm also a Councillor elected to the Hobart City Council.

Since I have been on the Hobart City Council, I have been publicly shamed and harrassed for my gender-critical political beliefs by several of my Council colleagues.

I have been bullied because of my gender-critical political beliefs, including through highly public Motions that call for me to be 'investigated' on the basis of my gender-critical political beliefs and related political activity. ​​​​

I've received a shameful letter - on Office of the Lord Mayor letterhead - that expresses deep contempt for my political beliefs, and seeking to correct them.

Discrimination on the basis of political belief is illegal in Australia.

​There are several successful cases of discrimination and harassment coming out of the UK where it has been held that women with gender-critical political beliefs have been discriminated against and harassed, usually in the workplace because of their beliefs.

Australians need protection from discrimination because they hold fair, valid and very widely held belief that women deserve safety, fairness and dignity.

Australians need protection from discrimination because they do not subscribe to the quasi-religion that is 'gender ideology'.

I'm up against a very well-funded Council. Any help you can provide to help me get my own legal experts on the case is greatly appreciated.
