Family First stands in solidarity with Kirralie Smith, a courageous advocate for women's and girls’ rights, as she faces relentless legal attacks for speaking the truth about biological males competing in women's sport.
Her fight took centre stage last night in Fair Game: The Fight for Women’s Sport, a ground-breaking Sky News documentary exposing the injustice of allowing men to take over female sporting competitions.
It was a significant moment to see Kirralie’s message reach mainstream audiences. The documentary revealed the extent to which radical gender ideology has infiltrated Australian sport, threatening fairness and safety for female athletes.
Smith, spokesperson for Binary Australia, has been an outspoken critic of policies that allow men who identify as women to compete in female sports.
For simply stating the truth, she now faces eight separate legal actions, including vilification complaints and Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) applications brought by male soccer players posing as women.
One of those pursuing her is Riley Dennis, an American-born transgender activist and member of the Sydney-based Flying Bats soccer team, which boasts of being the “biggest LGBTQIA+ women’s and non-binary football club in the world.”
Last season, the team went undefeated, despite five biological males playing in the women’s competition.
Dennis lodged a vilification complaint against Kirralie under section 38S of the Anti-Discrimination Act (NSW), which was first heard by Anti-Discrimination NSW and then referred to the New South Wales Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT).
NCAT eventually dismissed the case, citing jurisdictional issues, but Dennis refiled in the local District Court, where a hearing is set for April.
In a separate case, another transgender footballer sought an AVO against Kirralie, alleging harassment.
While a local court initially dismissed the claim, an appeal saw Justice Penelope Wass overturn the ruling in December, accusing Kirralie of running “a sustained campaign of belittling, harassment, and intimidation.”
The court order now prevents her from publicly identifying the player.
Despite these attempts to silence her, Kirralie remains resolute, stating, “No one can change their sex. Women's sex-based rights are worth fighting for.”
Kirralie told last night’s Sky documentary that this was the “hill she would die on”.
Family First stands shoulder to shoulder with Kirralie Smith.
Her courage in speaking up for truth and fairness in women’s sport is inspiring.
Her case exemplifies the alarming weaponisation of the legal system to punish those who challenge radical gender ideology.
Senator Pauline Hanson’s push for a Senate inquiry into transgender athletes in women's sport is a step in the right direction, and Family First supports it.
However, the reality is that we do not need an inquiry to state the obvious: men should not compete in women's sport.
The biological advantages they retain—greater muscle mass, bone density, and cardiovascular capacity—make competition inherently unfair and, in some cases, dangerous.
The Fair Game documentary has brought much-needed attention to the issue, but now it’s time for action.
Family First calls on all political leaders to enact clear policies ensuring that women’s sports are for women.
No inquiry should be needed to enforce what should be common sense.
To get males out of girls’ and women’s sports, vote 1 Family First.
