Sky News host James Morrow claims former prime minister Julia Gillard has softened her defence of the 2013 Sex Discrimination Act amendments after mounting criticism from women’s rights campaigners. “Former prime minister Julia Gillard has rowed back on her government's controversial changes to the Australian Sex Discrimination Act, which she signed into law back in 2013,” Mr Morrow said. “Over the past several months she’s has faced a series of protests by pro-women activists in the UK highlighting how the legislative change 13 years ago had a deleterious impact on women's rights. “She told an audience at Manchester University last night that: It was a different time then.”
