How progressive
I’m not seeing any journalism reporting on this.
Updating to add:
Yes, go underground, like Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe, like lesbians and gay men until the last 5 decades or so – what a cheerful prospect.

Australia, very liberal, very progressive, very inclusive. Everyone hates women (for some reason I really don’t ‘get’). NZ is only a shade better than this mind you. We haven’t yet had a similar determination in NZ, and are unlikely to under the current government. Still…
I believe the first ruling the Lesbian Action Group received was from the Pride Centre, a huge, new, expensive, purpose built LGBTQIA+ facility in Mebourne, Australia. On being told “no, we couldn’t possibly have a lesbian meeting at our LGBTQIA+ facility because that would discriminate against TW”, the LAG took their case to the Australian Human Rights Commission, who I believe supplied the second ruling, that the AHRC concurred with the Pride Centre.
This is grim indeed in the light of the Tickle v Giggle ruling (no, women can’t meet online without including men), that also twice oppressed women (female and same sex attracted) can’t meet without including men either. I guess the next step is to find out if women with three types of oppression can meet without men? Could indigenous lesbians meet without including men? Unlikely.
What about white men? Could they exclude men who are not indigenous? (I suspect the answer is yes, they could, but I’m not a judge so I don’t quite know how they think.)
