NSW man Jason Lau claims denying men entry is discriminatory, but artist Kirsha Kaechele says men’s ‘experience of rejection is the artwork’

    We have clubs that are open to men only, as well as clubs open to women only.

    I’m not sure whether this person is genuinely unaware of this, or whether he’s making a lot of noise explicitly to draw attention to the art exhibit as some form of marketing. Neither would surprise me.

      I think the men-only clubs have either been granted special exemptions, or pre-date legislation and are grandfathered-in.

      EDIT - After a quick look, it turns out:

      The NSW anti-discrimination law permits registered clubs to restrict membership on the basis of gender
