Victorian breastfeeding advocate faces legal action for comments critical of men ‘chest feeding’
By Stephanie Bastiaan
Victorian mother and breastfeeding advocate Jasmine Sussex is being taken to the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT) by trans-identified male Jennifer Buckley after raising concerns online about biological males trying to chest feed newborn babies. Courts, including QCAT, have the power to summon respondents to attend proceedings in a location most convenient to the applicant. This legal action follows three years of complaints by Buckley to various authorities, including the Queensland Human Rights Commission and the e-Safety Commission, who subsequently ordered posts by Sussex that said men can't breastfeed to be removed.
