Tattersall's rules dictate that women can attend as a guest or for a function, they can't join as a member.

The LNP and its LNP Women branch, which is holding the event, have spent the week defending the peculiar venue choice for the women's day event.

Protester Shannon, who wouldn't give her last name, says it feels like they're rubbing salt in the wounds of every female in the country.
