I suspect they'll say that TIMs are somehow disadvantaged compared to women and end it right there. Wonder if these ideologically captured courts would allow sexual violence and crime stats to be used as evidence of the need for single sex spaces.

Good point. Being in US, and not knowing Tasmania's relationship to mainland Australia, or their judicial system, I don't know if it will influence it or even get wide coverage. Hopefully this judgement will survive being sent back to original court, which i think it says it will be. But congrats to that judge for a great, woman centered ruling.

yes, sadly wherever there is "self-id" and people can change their documents, etc. and then they will be considered by the state as the "gender" they say they are. And in Australia that is the case. However, the judgement is still a victory for females as it does exclude males, and recognizes male discrimination of women. This is not a case about "trans" shit. It is a good step in the right direction for Australia which has shown its distain for women in its "trans" stuff. But we need to keep plugging away and fighting for the recognition of the biological differences and female oppression.
