Family First has renewed its calls for a ban on puberty blockers, hormone treatment and surgical mutilation of gender-confused children in the wake of yesterday’s decision by Justice Andrew Strum of the Family Court.
In a bombshell ruling that rejects the gender fluid ideology of LGBTIQA+ political activist-informed medical interventions on children, Justice Strum ruled that a 12-year-old boy was not a girl and that he must not be allowed to go to the local gender clinic, despite his mother’s wishes for him to be injected with puberty blockers.
Family First lead Senate candidate for Victoria, Bernie Finn, said Justice Strum’s decision appeared to contravene LGBTIQA+ activist-inspired “anti-conversion therapy” laws which come with jail time in some states for anyone, even parents, who prevents a child going to a gender clinic.
Mr Finn said if Family First Senators held the balance of power after the May 3 election they would immediately introduce legislation to de-fund Australia’s child gender clinics, establish a Royal Commission into child gender medicine and create a compensation fund for victims like Mel Jefferies who now bitterly reject their gender transitions.
Mr Finn said clinicians like the anonymous paediatrician whose “expert evidence” Justice Strum ruled was “misleading” should be banned from practice.
“The lack of action by Liberal and Labor politicians in the face of overwhelming local and international evidence of child harm from LGBTIQA+ gender clinics over many years is a scandal.
“Protecting children and women and girls from the consequences of LGBTIQA+ gender-fluid ideology is one of the key reasons Family First is standing 100 candidates at the election.
“Family First is committed to restoring commonsense to our nation and that starts with re-affirming the timeless biological truth that there are only two genders,” Mr Finn said.
“It is extraordinary that the Coalition goes to this election refusing to commit to amending the Sex Discrimination Act to re-instate the definition of woman,” Mr Finn said.
“The era of weak and woke politicians ends with voting 1 Family First.”
