GAME:</by>  Victoria's health department recently invited biological males who identify as women to take part in a study into women's pain as part of a $153 million taxpayer-funded initiative. The Victorian government said the decision to include males was made in order to be inclusive. South Australia currently has a Select Committee on Endometriosis and a select committee on urinary tract infections, which affect women 30 times more than men. My question to the Attorney-General, representing the minister, is: will the minister reassure the South Australian public that taxpayer funds set aside for these matters targeting women are spent exclusively on biological women and not on men identifying as women, as is the case in Victoria?</text>
