At a time when political leaders across Australia are bowing to radical gender ideology, Northern Territory Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro has taken a courageous stand for women’s safety. She has banned gender-confused men from being placed in female prisons — a common-sense move that recognises reality and protects some of the most vulnerable women in our community.

This decision comes after growing concern about the placement of male offenders — including violent and sexual predators — in women’s prisons across Australia.

Such policies have placed female inmates, many of whom are survivors of male violence, at risk of further trauma and harm.

By saying “no men in women’s prisons, full stop,” Chief Minister Finocchiaro has drawn a clear line that should never have been crossed in the first place.

While some leaders have turned a blind eye to the danger, Lia Finocchiaro has shown the courage to stand for fairness, truth, and safety. Her stance upholds the basic principle that sex-based protections exist for a reason — to shield women from exploitation and to preserve their dignity.

Now it’s time to show our support. Let’s thank Chief Minister Finocchiaro for defending women’s rights. When leaders act with courage, they deserve to know that Australians are standing with them.

Take a moment to thank Chief Minister Finocchiaro for protecting women’s safety.
