Hanson argued that changes to the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 introduced by the previous government created a legal minefield and threatened rights secured by Australian women. Hanson contended that legal definitions must be objective to ensure citizens can act with certainty within the law. Hanson cited a Federal Court judgment against Sall Grover as evidence of the risks posed by subjective amendments. Hanson stated that One Nation sought to restore biological definitions of women in the legislation to protect women's safety, health and privacy. Hanson criticised other parties for failing to address safety issues in spaces such as sports changing rooms and toilets.
