Gillard says she didn't know but the Governor General surely does

Julia Gillard now says she didn’t know what she was voting for in 2013, but the patron of LGBTQA+ activist group Equality Australia, Governor General Sam Mostyn, can’t be in any doubt.

 

Equality Australia is at the forefront of enforcing what Ms Gillard says are now unintended consequences of her changes to the Sex Discrimination Act.

 

After years of dismissing questions about the SDA’s favouring of biological males in women’s spaces as “gotcha” questions, Gillard’s new position is welcome.

 

As patron of Equality Australia, Sam Mostyn must say whether she agrees with Julia Gillard.

 

Equality Australia recently intervened on the side of biological man Roxanne Tickle suing Giggle for Girls app founder Sall Grover in the now infamous Giggle v Tickle case.

 

Grover lost and is now appealing to the High Court.

 

Equality Australia is also publicly supporting two drag queens suing me for “hate speech” because LGBTQA+ activists want to preserve the right to indoctrinate small children into gender fluid ideology without being criticised by people like me.

 

Speaking at the University of Manchester in the UK this week, Ms Gillard said the issues relating to men identifying as women “were not raised by anyone (back in 2012, when the legislation came before parliament) because they simply weren’t a matter of public discourse the way they are today.”

 

This was despite her Attorney General Mark Dreyfus telling Parliament the change would grant “transwomen”, eg men who identify as women, with the same rights as women.

“It was a different time,’’ Gillard said. “So it is an error to uplift what we know now and the public discourse now and just putting it down to 14 years ago’’.

 

It is a salient warning for politicians who all too often willingly accept whatever LGBTQA+ political activists tell them.

 

The Coalition also voted for change put up by Gillard and Dreyfus.

 

As patron of Australia’s leading activist organisation for men identifying as women, Ms Mostyn can’t say she doesn’t know.

 

It would be better if she de-politicised the office of Governor General and resigned as patron.
