Claire Chandler asks supporters to donate to $45000 'action fund' to raise awareness around the issue.

A spokesman said she hoped to advance the issue with the new government, but admitted there was slim prospect for her bill’s success in parliament. “Right now, Australian women who stand up for women’s sex-based rights are being taken to court. Chandler, a first-term senator from Tasmania, was praised by former prime minister Scott Morrison and other Liberals over her “save women’s sport” bill. When asked what the $45,000 fund was for, the spokesman said it was for supporters of the campaign to “contribute to that cause”. Chandler asked supporters to donate to “the next $45,000 action fund”.

The sports minister, Anika Wells, has said the federal government has no plans to introduce legislative change on the issue, adding that Chandler’s “alienating bill can go right to the back of the shelf to gather dust”.
