I see no male specific feathering and the comb/wattles aren't that large or colorful. I think it could well be a pullet.

I was thinking the saddle feathers were looking a little like a male…but not sure.

I have a lot saying this

The saddle feathers are rounded and the comb isn’t particularly big or bright. I’m voting pullet

I agree. I’m very confident that’s a pullet. USA hatchery-lines of Australians get combs very early unless they’re sickly which this bird isn’t. The Australian ones have much more variable maturity from what I’ve seen though

I'm going to be a weirdo and say pullet, based on stance!

What gives it away?

If the others think it's a cockerel, I'll defer to them.
I think the comb is too pink for a 14 week pullet but maybe not
