Emma and Megan discuss AAWAA's direct questioning of the Sex Discrimination Commissioner at the National Press Club about her powers, obligations, and the systematic exclusion of women's advocacy groups from sex and gender policy consultations. They explore the Commissioner's claim that CEDAW has been reinterpreted to include all 'versions' of woman, the lack of public accountability around this change, and why women's sexed-based protections and rights cannot be quietly displaced through administrative redefinition. This episode examines the Commission's statutory duties under Section 11 of the AHRC Act and calls for genuine consultation with women's organisations on policies that directly affect us.
