Football Australia will fast-track the development of a national high-performance trans and gender-diverse inclusion policy after an Australian anti-trans rights campaigner allegedly targeted a number of women footballers across New South Wales in recent months, including publishing private information online without their consent.

New South Wales police and other sources have confirmed to ABC Sport that an investigation is underway into Kirralie Smith, the self-appointed director of anti-trans lobby group Binary Australia, who has allegedly been using multiple online platforms to organise the harassment and abuse of women players and footballing organisations, including Football NSW (FNSW) and Football Australia (FA).
