\u2014Has routinely<\/a> insisted<\/a> trans women are men.<\/p>\n

\u2014Wrote<\/a> that affirming transgender children is mutilation, child abuse, and a crime.<\/p>\n

\u2014Tweeted<\/a> of transgender acceptance: \u201cWe will regret the day we de-gendered marriage and opened the floodgates to gender fluid theory experiments on children. Governments will be up for compensation for children who grow up only to have transgender regret. The side effects of hormones & puberty blockers is unknown.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Was one of the leaders of the \u201cNo\u201d campaign in the Australian Marriage Law Postal Survey<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u2014Advocated<\/a> for parents sending their LGBTQ children to anti-scientific, so-called \u201cconversion therapy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Has regularly attacked<\/a> same-sex parents and their children: \u201cAdults do not have the right to deliberately deny children their mother or father. Surrogacy & sperm donation are unethical. What a tangled web we are weaving and it is the children and women who will ultimately suffer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Has on several occasions suggested<\/a> that LGBTQ people \u201csteal\u201d their children: \u201cWe did take Indigenous children and babies from their mothers and give them to loving families but the error we apologised for was for taking them from their biological mother and father… Through assisted reproductive technology, we are taking the child from their biological father or their mother and giving them to someone else.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Has insisted<\/a> that drag shows are \u201cpornography.\u201d<\/p>\n
