United Australia Party Chairman Clive Palmer has flagged that he has instructed his party’s lawyers to bring a legal action against the Queensland Government over its plans to implement vaccine apartheid.

“It is a matter of great concern that the Queensland Premier has announced that residents who have not been fully vaccinated will not be able to access restaurants, clubs, hotels and events,’’ Mr Palmer said.

“Annastacia Palaszczuk has brought in these unconstitutional laws under the guise of so-called emergency legislation.

“However, we don’t have a COVID emergency in Queensland. Her theories are merely hypothetical and the United Australia Party will challenge these restrictions in the Queensland Supreme Court or the High Court of Australia.

“These actions of malfeasance and discrimination will lead to a two-class society in Queensland,’’ he said.

Mr Palmer added that under the Premier’s “unconstitutional measures”, Queenslanders would continue to suffer financial losses.

“I will ensure these politicians and bureaucrats are held accountable for any losses and will legally make these individuals financially accountable for any damages,’’ Mr Palmer said.

FamilyVoice Australia congratulates the NSW government’s reforms to better recognise the loss of an unborn child due to criminal acts released today by the NSW Attorney General Mark Speakman MP.

Currently, there is no stand-alone offence of causing the loss of an unborn child. These proposed changes will better acknowledge the heartbreak suffered by families and punish offenders appropriately.

“We are delighted to learnt that the creating of new criminal offences will expressly recognise the loss of an unborn child as a unique injury and loss for the pregnant woman and other family members,” said Greg Bondar, Spokesman for FamilyVoice.

The Crimes Legislation Amendment (Loss of Foetus) Bill 2021 proposes to strengthen the law by creating two new offences in the Crimes Act 1900:

1. A stand-alone offence of ‘Causing the loss of a foetus’ and
2. An offence of ‘Causing the loss of a foetus (death of pregnant woman)’

“These reforms will also improve support and recognition available to parents who have lost an unborn child of any age as a result of a third-party criminal act which confirms that the fact that life begins at conception,” said Greg Bondar.

We congratulate the Attorney General Mark Speakman and the NSW government on recognising the ‘unborn child’.

NSW Grandparents Day to be held Sunday, 31 October highlights the importance of the natural family in the growth and development of children.

Grandparents play a critical role in the family across age groups, cultural backgrounds, and geographical locations.

To quote Joyce Allston, “Grandparents, like heroes, are as necessary to a child’s growth as vitamins,” said Greg Bondar spokesman for FamilyVoice NSW.

The relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is critical in the moral, ethical and social growth of grandchildren. Scripture highlights the precious blessing that the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren can be. This relationship can easily be one of the most beautiful relationships in a child’s life.

FamilyVoice urges all grandparents to connect with their grandchildren not only this Sunday but always.
