Former Prime Minister Julia Gillard was put on the spot while giving a talk at Government House in Adelaide, South Australia when asked to give the definition of a woman.

“What is a woman?” audience member and women’s rights activist Biddy O’Loughlin asked the former Labor Party leader on Aug. 25.

“Do you agree with Queensland’s Attorney General Minister for Women Shannon Fentiman that trans women are women and with UK’s leader of the Labour Party Sir Keir Starmer that some women can have a penis?”

Ms. Gillard said she was “very happy” to answer the question but spent nearly five minutes talking about the debates around inclusion and diversity without directly addressing the issue.
