Legislative Council Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Deepfake Images Deepfake Images The Hon. S.L. GAME Legislative Council Deepfake Images The Hon. S.L. GAME (14:59): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before addressing a question to the Attorney-General regarding the recent Tickle v Giggle case interstate. Leave granted. The Hon. S.L. GAME Legislative Council The Hon. S.L. GAME: I was pleased recently to hear the state government's intention to better protect South Australia's girls and young women by criminalising the creation and distribution of AI-created sexually explicit deepfake images. The recent outcome of the Tickle v Giggle case interstate found in favour of a New South Wales man who was banned from the women-only app known as Giggle for Girls. Mr Tickle, or Roxanne as he prefers to be called, was awarded $10,000 in compensation, plus costs, because he could not join a female-only group. The apps creator, Sall Grover, aimed to create a safe space for women. The interstate ruling could have long-term and widespread negative repercussions in the workplace. In light of the Tickle v Giggle case, my question to the Attorney-General is: given the move to better protect girls and women by changing the state's AI laws, will the Malinauskas government also act to protect South Australian females from biological men who try to access women-only apps and, if so, what steps will the Malinauskas government do to that end? The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Attorney-General Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:00): I thank the honourable member for her question. I am not aware of the matter she refers to, but certainly this government has no intention of engaging in a culture war in relation to gender identity.
