From Australia
The NSW Supreme Court has dismissed an appeal by Kirralie Smith and her organisation Binary Australia, upholding a landmark ruling that found they unlawfully vilified two trans women.
The court largely upheld last year's decision from the NSW Local Court, including $95,000 in damages to the victims. The court ordered that Smith and Binary Australia publish a public statement about the decision, which must remain pinned on their social media channels for three months.
In 2025, Smith and Binary Australia were found to have incited hatred towards, serious contempt for and severe ridicule of the two trans women, who she targeted in a newsletter and series of social posts for playing football with their local clubs.
The case remains the first time someone has been found to have unlawfully vilified a person for being trans under NSW law.
This is an important reminder that freedom of expression does not extend to unlawful vilification, and that trans people deserve the same legal protections from hate as everyone else.
Those who target vulnerable communities with hatred and harassment are out of step with the law, and will be held accountable.
