The judge in ‘Billboard’ Chris Elston’s directions hearing declared that a biological woman be addressed with male pronouns in court.
The call was made during a session on Thursday, which also debated the involvement of trans activist Teddy Cook in the case against Australia’s eSafety Commissioner.
Dr Reuben Kirkham of the Free Speech Union of Australia, representing Elston, was scolded for using female pronouns when referring to Cook in the court.
The court eventually ruled that Cook would not be a party to the proceedings and should not be named in tribunal documents. Discussions also covered whether X Corp should remain an interested party. The Judge decided to keep the matters separate but ordered that documents be shared between them, with hearings held concurrently unless confidentiality orders are imposed.
