Australian Staniland Question
The Australian Staniland Question Campaign is a collective interested in promoting the status and wellbeing of women and girls and are affiliated with the Victorian Women’s Guild. Single sex spaces provide greater security and peace of mind for women and girls. Recent and proposed legislative changes put women and girls’ safety at risk.
The Australian Staniland Question Campaign believes the public is interested to know how Australian politicians answer the Staniland Question.
The Staniland Question asks:
Do you believe that male-sexed people have the right to
undress and shower in a communal changing room with
teenage girls?
The responses from politicians will be updated in the table below as they become available. You can also access the table through this link.
Victorian Parliamentian responses to the Staniland Question.docxAll Victorian parliamentarians were asked in mid July 2021 for their answer to the Staniland Question. Yet many have not responded. Why so few responses? Why so little accountability and transparency on this matter? We believe the low response rate is very telling and show that Victorian parliamentarians are not prepared to go on the record to show their privileging of men over women's welfare.
