Rachael Wong, CEO of Women's Forum Australia, discusses legal concerns for Australian feminists including self-ID, surrogacy, prostitution, and pornography. They explore why Australia is more extreme on progressive issues, the influence of organizations like Acon, and fast-paced lawmaking. Attitudes towards the sex industry, trafficking, and the current state of surrogacy are also addressed. The alignment between big business and progressive activism, the Labor party's stance on regulating the porn industry, and the need for stronger radical social reforms are discussed.
