This week over 7,000 Australians have written to their state and federal health minister seeking an independent inquiry into the surge in children being referred to ‘gender clinics’.

In encouraging news for parents, a complaint by parent ‘Anne’ about the gender-fluidity resource ‘The Genderbread Person’ has resulted in the resource being withdrawn from a NSW public high school.

The Australian Christian Lobby has consistently expressed concern over the surge in the number of children rushed into irreversible, life-changing gender reassignment medication or surgeries. A recent report found there were 336 new referrals to the Royal Children’s Hospital gender clinic in 2019, representing a staggering 1,767% increase since 2012.

Doctors and other children’s advocates will be disappointed in Health Minister Hunt’s refusal to support calls for a full inquiry into the spike in referrals of children for transgender therapies and surgeries, the Australian Christian Lobby maintained today.

The Australian Christian Lobby has consistently upheld the biological reality of gender, and maintained that boys should use boy’s toilets, and girls the girl’s toilets.

The Australian Christian Lobby has urged Australian MPs to pump the brakes on public hospitals conducting irreversible gender treatments on children, as a tide of concern rises in Australia and around the world.

The Australian Christian Lobby has raised the alarm that all Queensland state school children will now be taught the belief that “people are born either male or female, and that’s how they should stay” is a ‘myth’.

The Australian Christian Lobby opposes a plan by Victorian upper house MP Fiona Patten to extend the reach of the Racial and Religious Tolerance Bill to gender identity and sexual orientation.

Thank you to the almost 60,000 Australians who signed our petition in the lead-up to the ALP’s National Conference. You have helped ensure parents are not criminalised for wanting to affirm their child’s biological gender!!

The Australian Christian Lobby today welcomed changes to the Australian Labor Party’s platform on so-called 'LGBT conversion therapy.'
