Here's how you can help!
‼️ You can make a complaint without providing personal information & without being from Australia. ‼️
Even if you're not an Australian resident, you can file a formal complaint with the ABC. If enough of us complain that platforming transphobia is unacceptable they will have no choice but to retract or edit the article and change their practices on uncritically reporting "gender critical" rhetoric. Here's a template that you can copy and paste:
I am writing to complain about the article “Lesbian group takes fight to Federal Court in bid to exclude transgender women from events” published on the 23 of February 2026. The report fails to meet ABC’s principles for balance and impartiality as it doesn't include a perspective from a transgender person or advocacy organisation. The article uncritically quotes exclusionary and transphobic language effectively providing a platform for the Lesbian Action Group and normalises transphobic rhetoric. Considering the federal court bid affects the rights of transgender people and the wider LGBTQ+ community not including the perspective of the people who are the primary subjects of this legal discrimination is a severe lapse of ABC standards. (ABC Editorial Standards 4.2 specifically).
