Bad headline, bad article. Here's a site with some commentary on this and a related case:

https://lawandreligionaustralia.blog/2026/01/25/football-and-transgender-vilification-the-kirralie-smith-cases/

No idea if that site has any particular slant, but it has copies of the rulings:

Regardless of if anyone was injured, the posts Smith made say "alleged", and the court case isn't about those being truthful or not. As the ruling notes,

The ultimate issue is whether the acts or conduct of the Defendant as particularised, amount to unlawful vilification of the Plaintiff pursuant to Section 38S, of the Act.
