Sky News host Chris Kenny says transgender rights in sport are giving Australian female players “short shrift”.

He said Liberal Senator Claire Chandler criticised Tennis Australia CEO Craig Tiley for “trying to prevent the world bodies from protecting women’s competitions”. “As the Senator points out, all this deference to diversity and inclusion, if it pits biological males against girls and women, well then it doesn’t allow for the simple right, the very important inclusion, of women in sport,” Mr Kenny said.

Ms Gallagher’s denial of misleading the Senate is “such a bold an erroneous denial that it seems to be another misleading of the Senate in itself,” he said. “From the Prime Minister down the Labor party is backing this grand deceit, this utterly transparent bluff that plays the public for mugs and makes a hopeless joke of their integrity promises.'
