Spotlight: Why is Australia importing anti-trans activists?
Description
A speaking tour claiming to quote “let women speak” has been at the centre of disturbing scenes across Australia.
In Melbourne, neo-Nazis stood on the steps of Victorian Parliament and openly performed the Nazi salute – while in Canberra, Senator Lidia Thorpe was tackled and held to the ground by police as she tried to protest the tour.
So who is this British woman touring Australia, provoking these scenes?
Contributor to The Saturday Paper and co-editor of the book Nothing to Hide: Voices of Trans and Gender Diverse Australia, Sam Elkin on the woman who calls herself Posie Parker.
