Family First has welcomed the Victorian Liberal Party’s announcement that, if elected, it will join Family First in repealing Labor’s divisive Treaty Bill within its first 100 days of government.
“Brad Battin wasn’t so sure a few weeks ago,” said Bernie Finn. “When Peta Credlin asked him point blank if he’d repeal the Treaty, he squibbed. Now, after pressure from Family First and from grassroots Victorians who reject racial division, he’s finally found his backbone. That’s good news.”
Family First’s position has been clear since day one: the Treaty Bill introduced by Labor is a radical social experiment Victorians never voted for. It embeds racial division in law and in schools, forcing even four-year-olds to be taught from a curriculum declaring that “we walk on stolen land” and that the “scars of colonial invasion” remain today.
“Teaching our children that Australia is nothing but a crime scene is not reconciliation — it’s indoctrination,” said Jane Foreman. “Of course we should teach Aboriginal history and culture, but it must be truthful and balanced, not designed to instil guilt and shame.”
Family First said the Liberal Party’s newfound opposition to the Treaty is welcome, but overdue.
“Victorians rejected the Voice in 2023, yet Labor is doing it anyway,” Mr Finn said. “Brad Battin and the Liberals now agree with what Family First has been saying all along — this Treaty divides us by race and must go.”
Ms Foreman said Family First would continue to lead the fight to repeal the Treaty and restore fairness and unity.
“Family First is pleased the Liberals have finally caught up. Now the task is to undo Labor’s damage and ensure Victorian classrooms are places of learning, not ideological reprogramming,” she said.
