An inquiry is necessary and reasonable

Senator Pauline Hanson has been persistent and consistent when it comes to child safeguarding from gender ideology. 

She has repeatedly attempted to get the Senate to agree to an inquiry into practices that are both experimental and harmful.

The Queensland senator is continually met with opposition and resistance. 

You have to ask why. 

Why on earth are there so many politicians hell-bent on destroying the lives of vulnerable children to appease a handful of adult activists?

What do they have to fear? 

If these questionable practices are appropriate and safe for children, an independent and rigorous investigation would prove them right. 

But they know full well that no inquiry into such practices has found them to be safe nor effective.

The UK, the USA, the Nordic countries and more have all investigated and have all agreed that puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones are catastrophically harmful for children. 

Australian politicians must change their tune and start putting children’s needs before their own political gain.

Read Senator Hanson’s motion below and see just how reasonable it is. Then take note of all who voted for and against. 

All of them must be held to account. Contact them today and express your thoughts politely but powerfully.

Today, I moved to establish a real inquiry into the human cost of experimental child gender treatments in Australia, one that would give victims and their families a voice. 

This was my last opportunity before the election, I am proud to have fought tooth and nail in the parliament to on this issue. But once again, Labor, the Greens, a number of Liberals, David Pocock, and Senator Tyrell voted it down. They refused to listen. They refused to act. 

The fight is not over. After the election, One Nation will come back stronger and keep pushing for answers. The Australian people deserve the truth. The victims deserve justice. We must protect our nation's children from this abuse. 

Here is the motion we put forward and here is who voted for and against: 

That the following matter be referred to the Community Affairs References Committee for inquiry and report by 26 March 2025: 

The human cost of experimental child gender treatments in Australia, with particular reference to: 

(a) Testimonies from individuals who have undergone puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical interventions, including those who have detransitioned and regret their treatment. 

(b) The experiences of families who were pressured, misled, or denied the right of consent regarding their child's gender treatment, as has been alleged to have occurred in Queensland at the Cairns Sexual Health Service. 

(c) The extent of psychological and medical harm caused by puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, including the lack of proper long-term safety studies. 

(d) The role of medical professionals, clinics, and activists in promoting and administering these treatments without sufficient oversight or evidence-based safeguards. 

(e) The failures of the Australian medical establishment and government agencies to provide balanced, cautious, and ethical care in line with the more precautionary approaches now adopted in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Finland, and other nations. 

(f) The legal, ethical, and medical obligations of the Australian Government to ensure children are not subjected to unproven and harmful medical interventions. 

(g) The suppression of dissenting medical and scientific voices who have raised concerns about the gender-affirming treatment model. 

(h) The influence of activist groups in shaping public policy, medical guidelines, and education regarding gender treatments. 

(i) The need for a national ban on gender-related medical interventions for individuals under the age of 18. 

(j) The impact of gender policies on women’s rights, including the erosion of female-only spaces, the integrity of women’s sports, and the safety of women in shelters, prisons, and other vulnerable settings. 

(k) Any other related matters.
