Emma and Suzi unpack the NSW Law Reform Commission's current review of the Anti-Discrimination Act, with a special focus on government guidelines for sex and gender data. They explore why the Australian Government Guidelines on the Recognition of Sex and Gender are administrative tools—not laws—and how the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 remains the definitive authority, especially when it comes to exemptions for single-sex spaces. Drawing on recent UK court cases and policy reviews, Emma and Suzi explain why legal clarity matters and how statutory protections for women must not be diluted by government policy shifts.
