NZ move against puberty blockers prompts renewed call for Australia to act

MEDIA RELEASE

The Family First Party today renewed its calls for LGBTIQA+ gender experimentation on children to cease after New Zealand became the latest country to pull back on prescribing puberty blockers.

The NZ Ministry of Health yesterday joined the UK Government in acknowledging there is “no good evidence” that puberty blockers help gender-confused children and in putting in place measures to protect children from further harm.

Family First’s team of Senate candidates for the up-coming federal election - Lyle Shelton (NSW), Bernie Finn (Victoria) and Christopher Brohier (SA) – are campaigning for the protection of children from Australia’s regime of child gender clinics which continue sterilising and mutilating the bodies of children.

The NZ Ministry of Health said yesterday:

“The Evidence Review found a lack of good quality evidence for the effectiveness or safety of puberty blocking treatment in young people with gender dysphoria. We do not have good evidence to say that the medicines used improve the longer-term outcomes for young people with gender-related health needs – nor that the potential longer-term risks are low. 

“The Ministry is considering whether further measures need to be put in place to ensure no children or young people are unduly exposed to unknown risks.”

In contrast, Australian child gender clinics continue to barge ahead with prescribing experimental medications to vulnerable sex confused kids, with misleading consent forms and information.

The Family First Senate team said:

“This medical experimentation on children must stop now. The UK Cass Review and now the NZ review have reached essentially the same conclusions. If elected in the next Federal election Family First Senators will fight for the end of the use of puberty blockers and other so-called ‘gender affirmation’ treatments for sex confused vulnerable kids. Our kids are not guineas pigs for woke activists.”

Family First is the only party contesting the federal election that prioritises the banning of puberty blockers and mutilating surgery on children and the removal of gender fluid ideology from medicine and education.
