Abolish the Australian Human Rights Commission says Family First

Family First Party < 1 mins read

The Australian Human Rights Commission is anti-parental rights and anti-child welfare and should be abolished, says Family First.

 

The taxpayer-funded commission this week issued a statement opposing the Queensland Government’s pause on providing off-label puberty blockers and cross sex hormones to children.

 

This followed revelations a Cairns clinic was allegedly injecting the powerful drugs in 12-year-olds without parental consent.

 

Family First National Director and NSW lead Senate candidate Lyle Shelton said:

 

“Parents’ taxes should not go to an organisation which does not believe a parent should have a say in whether a child takes drugs that can sterilise them, leave them without sexual function and damage their bone density.”

 

The AHRC’s Sex Discrimination Commissioner Dr Anna Cody’s statement raised “concerns on the pause in Stage One and Two hormone therapies for people under 18 years through the Queensland’s public health system while an independent review is undertaken”.

 

Cody said: “We must ensure we are putting the wellbeing of trans and gender diverse children and young people first”.

 

Family First believes parents should be the primary decision-makers when it comes to taking drugs which can damage them forever.

 

“Parents should be free to warn their children of the dangers of gender-fluid ideology and to teach them the truth about gender – that there are just two,” Mr Shelton said.

 

“Children cannot consent to puberty blockers and cross sex hormones and the AHRC should butt out.”

 

Family First’s Senate team of Katie Lush (Qld), Lyle Shelton (NSW), Bernie Finn (Vic) and Christopher Brohier (SA) is fighting for a return to commonsense on gender.
