Report Confirms Discrimination Against Councillor Over Transgender Views

Councillor Louise Elliot criticized the campaign ‘Hobart Respects All,’ saying actions contradict the message. The dispute at Hobart City Council began nine months ago over a venue booking. In September 2023, Elliot’s request to hold a women’s rights forum at the Town Hall ballroom was denied. The Council’s staff cited concerns about discussing transgender issues. A report found that Elliot was discriminated against and denied procedural fairness. The CEO issued an apology and acknowledged the errors. Elliot filed a complaint with Equal Opportunity Tasmania. The Council aims to learn from mistakes and improve its governance and culture. The meeting on July 3 will address these issues. Please rephrase
