Check out this video uploaded just recently: [Health department refuses to define ‘woman’ in Senate Estimates](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DX_1QNXgjDM). Australia's own health department struggle and eventually refuse to answer the simple question. Look at how uncomfortable they are with such an innocuous request.
On similar trends, we are seeing institutions such as the ACLU post tweets like this: https://twitter.com/ACLU/status/1439259891064004610?s=20 . It's a tweet of a quote by Ruth Bader Ginsburg. But the ACLU has decided to replace the word "women" with "people".

Ah, but it's not innocuous, and everyone knows it. I assume you know it -- when you watched that clip of the senator, did you really think he had forgotten what the definition of "woman" was?
The question he was really asking was along the lines of "is it the health department's official stance that trans woman are woman and should be treated as such under the law?"
Although actually he wasn't really asking that either, he was signaling to his supporters that he does not think that trans woman are women, and he was attempting to embarrass his political opposition so he and his allies could talk about the lunacy of the woke left or whatever and how they can't even define what a woman is.
I can forgive people for not wanting to play along.
Although, I can't forgive people for not having an answer ready; that question is being used as a "gotcha" more and more frequently.
