The Lesbian Action Group (LAG) has applied to the Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) for a temporary exemption from anti‑discrimination laws — a move that has sparked significant discussion about rights, inclusion, and the future of lesbian‑centred organising in Australia.

In this Queer Conversation, LOTL speaks with Nicole Mowbray about the exemption request, why it has generated debate within the LGBTQ+ community, and how different groups are interpreting the balance between identity‑based spaces and broader inclusion. Nicole discusses the legal context, the concerns raised, and the questions this moment poses for community cohesion, advocacy, and lesbian visibility.

Queer Conversation features playlists for MUSIC, BOOKS, THEATRE, CONVERSATIONS and more.
