is the TERF talk down under content deliverer. I've got Kathy, Katherine Deves, uh myself I'm Kelly[-Jay] and this is Moira Deeming who's an MP and we've just had an exceptionally interesting um day …

…

Yeah, ah Kath what about you?

KD [Ms Deves]: I thought the speeches today were absolutely magnificent um what some of those women got up, they were shaky when they got off the microphone they were so brave again it was such a varied mix of women, varied mix of experiences and if the people who are the detractors or the media who have been and some of whom have been absolutely just remiss in how they've reported this if they actually listened to what the women had to say they'd understand what we're about so I think this is a fantastic record for history and I'm really proud of everyone who worked to put it together today.

KJK: Yeah me too. I'm particularly I think Australian women are quite funny. I think there was a lot of humour in a lot of the speeches. What about you Moira?

MD [Mrs Deeming]: Look as a newly elected MP it was really interesting for me and vindicating to see women from every single political party uniting over these basic human rights. It was also wonderful to see uh just how protective everybody was of each other, you know we had a couple of people uh become very violent so some trans activists pretended to be a part of our group.

Obviously there was that group of masked men who came in, we didn't know who they were but we were concentrating on these people at the front and you know one woman was knocked unconscious and taken to hospital. I got kicked in the shins a whole bunch of times.

But they were dealt with within you known under, under, under a minute each, we dealt with them we got rid of them and we just carried on and that's what we'll continue to do and it was just a fun day and it was really great.

…

KJK: And let me just say for the record and I'm not speaking for anybody else in this room but if somebody comes and poses a risk to women, I'm kind of all right with a bit of, a little bit of violent kind of pulling them out of the way uh proportionate violence um and getting them out of the way and away from women as a risk.

…

So we had to wrap up that's why we finished a little bit sort of quick[l]y and we had to really rush the speeches at the end and then obviously there was some other people occupying the steps which I think we all thought we were told by security were antifa because they were all in black with black masks so we thought they were antifa and they were just over there but I think it's safe to say, there were so many risks, potential risks in our crowd.

…

KJK: But should we talk about, um, to talk about the elephant in the room Moira because you're going to complain…

MD: Yes.

KJK: …because we had, we're not when we both got there so we had, we were told that
