To the President and Members of the Legislative Council of the Parliament of Western Australia in Parliament assembled. We the undersigned …
1. Are deeply troubled that the Cook Labor Government are pushing legislation that will allow any male, but most alarmingly male perpetrators of violence against women, to legally change their sex to female and access female-only spaces;
2. Remind the Government that the United Nations Rapporteur on violence against women and girls has recently highlighted the potential for sexual predators to abuse such laws;
3. Call on the Government to acknowledge the vulnerability of biological females and their right to freely assemble and associate in spaces exclusively with one another should they wish to do so for safety, sport, recreation or any reason;
4. Urge the Legislative Council to refer the Births, Deaths and Marriages Registration Amendment (Sex or Gender Changes) Bill 2024 to the Standing Committee on Legislation for a public inquiry to ensure this right is protected rather than undermined or destroyed.
And your petitioners as in duty bound, will ever pray.
