Australia’s top health bureaucrat has been slammed for refusing to provide a definition of the word “woman”. Liberal Senator Alex Antic posed the question to Health Secretary Brendan Murphy during Senate Estimates on Wednesday (6 April 2022), after last week failing to get a response from the Workplace Gender Equality Agency. “Can someone please provide me with a definition of what a woman is?” he asked. The question was met with uncomfortable silence. “Department of Health? Definition of a man, definition of a woman? Anyone? Professor Murphy?” Senator Antic said. Dr Murphy replied, “Look, I think there are a variety of definitions …” Senator Antic suggested he provide “just a simple one”. “I think perhaps to give a more fulsome answer we should take that on notice,” Dr Murphy continued. “You’re going to take on notice the question of what a woman is?” the Senator said.

This is hilarious. I’ve only been here two years, that’s the best thing I’ve seen thus far.”
