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.
