Australian parliamentarians must follow the example of courageous French senators who have denounced the gender transitioning of children, according to FamilyVoice Australia spokesman David d’Lima.

“Federal politicians need to follow the example of a group of French senators, who have bravely denounced the gender transitioning of children as one of the greatest ethical scandals in the history of medicine,” David d’Lima said.

“It’s time for a French lesson for Australian MPs.”

According to investigations by the centre-right Les Républicains party in the French Senate, the medical industry has provided life-altering transgender intervention to children with little evidence of its value, while ignoring the life-long side effects.

“FamilyVoice Australia respectfully challenges federal MPs to urgently hold a full public inquiry into the extent of gender transitioning interventions among Australian children, and the harms done to confused young people.”

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his government have “declared war against faith-based schools”, according to FamilyVoice Australia spokesman David d’Lima.

“The Albanese government effectively has declared war on independent schools by its plan to remove exemptions from sexual discrimination legislation and somehow move them into religious freedom legislation.

“That strategy would separate faith and sexuality, leading to protracted legal wrangling as to whether a school’s view on sexuality is anchored in its understanding of faith.

“The current clear-cut freedom of schools to maintain their integrity would be lost, and small schools especially would lack the capacity to mount legal action to somehow prove their sexual ethics are grounded in their faith.

“Schools that are already stretched to meet the growing public demand for excellent independent education would be drawn into protracted, expensive and time-consuming action to justify their integrity, to a court’s satisfaction.

“They can do without this extra burden of cultural warfare.”
