Family First will fight any attempt by the South Australian Labor Government to criminalise parents, counsellors, and health professionals who seek to steer children away from harmful gender clinics.
The Labor Government’s proposed laws aim to ban so-called “conversion therapy,” which they claim is a form of abuse.
But what they fail to acknowledge is the real abuse happening in child gender clinics, where children are fast-tracked into irreversible medical treatments without addressing underlying issues.
These laws, already in place in states like Queensland, Victoria, and touted for NSW, threaten even parents with jail time for trying to protect their children from experimental gender treatments.
According to South Australia’s Advertiser newspaper, “individuals who either try to take – or arrange to have someone taken – from the state for this purpose would face up to three years in jail, a fine of up to $15,000, or both”.
This is despite some supposed protections which possibly water down SA’s version of “conversion therapy”.
Counsellors, pastors and healthcare workers are at risk for doing their jobs—offering guidance and support to children who are confused about their gender.
The proposed laws would be draconian, allowing complaints to be brought before the Equal Opportunity Commissioner, with significant penalties awaiting those who merely offer guidance that is different from radical gender ideology.
These laws certainly put them under pressure to stay silent about the abuse of children.
Where are the Liberals in this fight? They are missing in action, leaving families vulnerable to state overreach.
Family First will fight these dangerous laws all the way to the next state election, due in 2026.
Our message to South Australians is simple: we won’t stop until parents’ rights are protected and harmful gender ideology is driven out of school curriculum.
Family First believes that the real danger comes from this ideology, not from parents or professionals trying to protect kids from harm.
