The Australian Christian Lobby has condemned the Andrews government’s Change and Suppression (Conversion) Prohibition Bill, noting that it is built on lies.

The Australian Christian Lobby has raised concern that the Victorian government commentary, as it presented its Change or Suppression (Conversion) Practices Prohibition Bill 2020 yesterday, indicates a bill so broad it may crush Christian expressions of gender and sexuality.

The Australian Christian Lobby urges Victorian members of parliament to resist any push to penalise mums, dads or others' faith-based discussion with their children, family or congregational members about issues of sexuality or gender.

Children typically learn their ABC’s at 4 or 5 years old. At that age it remains the responsibility of the village around them to protect them from anything that would harm them.

The Australian Christian Lobby has written to the Premier highlighting a serious breach of the Equal Opportunity Act 1984 by the LotteryWest board.

Last Thursday the ACT Legislative Assembly passed legislation under the pretext of banning 'gender conversion therapy'.

Last Thursday the ALP/Greens government’s 12 MPs outvoted the Liberal Opposition’s nine MPs and the Sexual & Gender Identity Conversion Practices Bill passed. The Australian Christian Lobby is disappointed by this outcome, due to the possibility that sensible parenting could be now criminalised, and faith leaders prevented from instructing in biblical truth.

Families were shocked to learn via phone poll that the ACT government was rushing through ‘anti-conversion laws’ before the October election. The poll was conducted by Gender Awareness Australia on Monday. The Australian Christian Lobby is calling upon ACT politicians to stop the bill in its tracks.

ACT’s Barr government ‘anti-conversion’ bill - tabled today - potentially turns parents, teachers, and pastors, into criminals if they teach a traditional view of sexuality.

The Andrews government’s rainbow manifesto or ‘whole of government LGBTIQ Strategy’ applies baseless pressure on schools and churches, the Australian Christian Lobby said in its submission to the public consultation which closed yesterday.
