In an overseas court now and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has repeated his wish that WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange should return to Australia, The Age reports. If Dutton’s appeal doesn’t go ahead, he added he shouldn’t have to pay costs because Bazzi crowdfunded the case. Initially, Dutton won, but an appeal found in Bazzi’s favour, as the tweet “did not convey the defamatory meaning that ‘excused rape’”. Dutton had said some female refugees were “trying it on” in claiming they had been raped and thus needed abortions in Australia. Dutton took Bazzi to court over a tweet that called the then defence minister a “rape apologist”, as Guardian Australia reports. To another high-profile court case now: Opposition leader Peter Dutton wants to appeal his failed defamation case against refugee advocate Shane Bazzi, arguing there had been a “miscarriage of justice”. The judge will mull over the delay request today.

Accused Bruce Lehrmann’s barrister said 800,000 people saw Wilkinson’s speech and argued it could make the trial unfair. Wilkinson won the gong for her interview with Higgins, a former Liberal staffer, who revealed she had been allegedly assaulted inside Senator Linda Reynolds’ office at Parliament in 2019. The lawyers representing the man accused of raping Brittany Higgins have asked to delay the case after Lisa Wilkinson’s Logie speech, The Australian ($) reports. It comes after US swimmer Lia Thomas won a big title in the US after being an average college swimmer in the male category, as ESPN reports, which could be down to many, many things other than Thomas’ sex assigned at birth. They floated the idea of a third category for trans women as an alternative. So what’s the deal? FINA says trans women cannot compete if they went through male puberty, The Guardianreports, and it was backed by 71% of the 152 members, though trans men can compete in male competition. The IOC worked with leaders in medicine, athletics, and human rights to reach the conclusion.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) guidelines released last year say there’s no reason to assume advantage based on sex variations, physical appearance, or transgender status.
“Proximity to coaches, facilities, and parents with money and time are most predictive of success,” they write. This sentiment was echoed in The New York Times’ letter section, where a reader said athletes are more than bodies, hormones, and sex assigned at birth. Why can’t we stick with the extensive testing we have, Coughlan asks, to determine trans-inclusion? She was tested for eligibility for some 18 months, she says. Coughlan argues that it’s physiology, mindset, and opportunity that gets people on the winner’s podium. Former athlete Ricki Coughlan, who is one of Australia’s first out trans women in sport, says FINA’s decision is an “exclusion policy” and “lazy on ethics and science”, she writes in The Age. She says she wants trans athletes in the community but urged people to “listen to the science and experts”. Read Campbell’s speech here - she says inclusion and fairness underpin sport, but argues the two conflict when it comes to trans athletes. Olympic swimmer Cate Campbell has backed the world’s peak swimming body banning trans women competing in the women’s category in elite competition.
