HON SARAH GAME MLC WELCOMES MOIRA DEEMING TO FAMILY FIRST
South Australian Family First MLC Sarah Game has welcomed Victorian MP Moira Deeming to Family First, saying her decision to join the party strengthens the growing parliamentary voice for families, women and children across Australia.
Ms Deeming has today announced she is joining Family First and will stand as the party’s lead candidate for the Western Metropolitan Region at the upcoming Victorian election.
Ms Game said she was delighted to welcome another sitting parliamentarian to the Family First team.
“I am incredibly pleased to welcome Moira to Family First. It is exciting to have another Family First voice in an Australian Parliament and particularly someone who has shown such courage in standing up for her convictions,” Ms Game said.
“Moira and I share a strong commitment to protecting women’s sex-based rights, safeguarding women’s spaces and ensuring the safety and wellbeing of children comes before ideology.”
Both parliamentarians have been outspoken on issues surrounding sex and gender, including the protection of female-only spaces and greater scrutiny of gender-related medical interventions involving children.
Ms Game recently moved to establish a South Australian parliamentary inquiry into young people seeking assistance for gender dysphoria, including examination of clinical pathways, safeguards, parental rights, medical interventions and long-term outcomes.
“These are issues that many Australians are deeply concerned about, but too often people feel they cannot ask questions or speak openly without being attacked or silenced,” Ms Game said.
“Women should not have to apologise for wanting their sex-based rights and spaces protected, and parents deserve confidence that decisions affecting vulnerable children are grounded in evidence, appropriate safeguards and genuine informed consent.”
“Moira has demonstrated that she is prepared to stand firm even when doing so comes at a personal and political cost. I know she will bring that same determination to Family First.”
Ms Game said the addition of Ms Deeming demonstrated the growing momentum behind Family First and its commitment to putting families back at the centre of public policy.
“I look forward to working alongside Moira as we continue standing up for women, protecting children and putting families first.”
