Family First contests Hinchinbrook by-election to take the pressure of families

Family First Party < 1 mins read

Family First has endorsed North Queensland mother, social worker and pastor Dr Amanda Nickson as its candidate for the Hinchinbrook by-election on November 29.

With living and housing costs out of control, Dr Nickson says the last thing families need is more pressure from LNP Government programs in schools teaching their children their gender is fluid.

Dr Nickson said she was shocked the Crisafulli Government is requiring families of pre-schoolers to provide preferred pronouns.

“Mr Crisafulli needs to focus on taking the cost-of-living pressure off and ensuring houses are affordable for our children, rather than teaching four and five-year-olds they might be born in the wrong body,” Dr Nickson said.

“Families are under enough pressure from expensive net zero policies – they don’t need their children being indoctrinated at school when they are trying to balance the budget at home,” Dr Nickson said.

“Hinchinbrook residents can send a message to the weak and woke Crisafulli Government on November 29 by voting for Family First.

“Queenslanders have been shocked to see a supposedly conservative government continue with gender self-ID laws which allow men to get women’s birth certificates and to continue to punish Dr Jillian Spencer for blowing the whistle on the harmful child gender transition clinics.

“Pro-life voters have also been shocked to see Mr Crisafulli gag the parliament from talking about Queensland’s extreme abortion-to-birth laws,” Dr Nickson said.

Under-18s super carve-out sees Queensland teenagers miss out on $104 million in super contributions

The Super Members Council is pushing to scrap an outdated law that denies super to most under-18 workers, after new analysis shows it will shortchange teenagers in Queensland $104 million in 2025/26. The research shows 127,000 under-18 workers in QLD will miss out on an average of $820 in super contributions this year, and about 515,000 teen workers nationally will be excluded from a combined $405 million. Under current rules, workers under the age of 18 are only legally guaranteed super if they work more than 30 hours a week for one employer. The outdated exclusion was originally made to…
