Kirralie Smith has been ordered to pay $95,000 after a legal battle that began when she spoke publicly about biological males competing in women’s soccer.
Now, after losing her latest appeal, she joins Lyle Shelton to explain what happened, why she says she won’t back down, and what the case could mean for women’s sport, freedom of speech and the right to state biological reality in Australia.
Kirralie reveals the extraordinary restrictions she has faced, including an apprehended violence order, police arriving at her home, years of litigation and hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal costs.
She also explains why she believes Australia’s anti-discrimination and vilification laws need to change.
Also on this episode of The Lyle Shelton Show: Victoria’s political upheaval and new Premier Ben Carroll, Anthony Albanese and political integrity, concerns about Chinese Communist Party influence, the debate around Islam and Lakemba Mosque, the Family First National Conference, Fiji’s extraordinary pro-life campaign, and controversial new Census questions involving gender and sexual identity.
