Continued the debate
Willcox supported the bill, arguing that the 2013 removal of biological definitions from federal statutes had rendered the legal category of woman meaningless. Willcox cited the Federal Court decision in Giggle for Girls Pty Ltd v Roxanne Tickle as evidence that current laws failed to protect women's privacy and safety in spaces like domestic violence shelters. Willcox stated the bill would reinstate binary biological definitions and replace the term different sex with opposite sex. Willcox clarified that the legislation was not an attack on transgender Australians but a measure to restore legal reality and protect women-only spaces from frivolous lawsuits.
