Women Speak Tasmania will tomorrow be presenting their submissions at TASCAT over our appeal against the rejection by the Anti-Discrimination Commission of our complaint of discrimination by Libraries Tasmania for the cancellation of our room bookings.
Libraries Tasmania had cancelled meeting room bookings by WST at which discussions were to be held on various political, legislative and human rights aspects of the controversial sex self-ID laws.
“Libraries Tasmania’s cancellation of WST meetings is a breach of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights to which Australia is a signatory.”
“These controversial laws have eroded Australians’ rights to freedom of speech, political opinion and freedom of association.”
“WST has received increasing feedback from Tasmanians that these laws must be repealed,” says WST advisor Isla MacGregor.
