What We Told Queensland Health About Safeguarding LGB Youth
Our submission to the Queensland Review shows why puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for minors are unsafe, experimental, and lack strong evidence.

Children in distress need careful assessment, not fast tracked medical pathways. They deserve a genuinely impartial NHMRC review shaped by evidence, not ideology. The panel announced this week lacks balance. Prominent clinicians who support cautious, evidence based approaches are missing.

Have Your Say: NSW Government LGBTIQA+ Inclusion Strategy Survey
The NSW Government is consulting on its proposed “LGBTIQA+” Inclusion Strategy, and it’s important that lesbian, gay and bisexual people take part. The survey has several problems. It treats the “LGBTIQA+” as a homogenous group, mixes sex with identity, and hides certain questions unless you give strongly supportive answers. If LGB people don’t respond, our needs and sex-based rights risk being overlooked.
We’ve prepared clear guidance to help you navigate the survey.
We Love Aunty, but…
We have raised concerns that the ABC’s top tier participation in a lobbying group’s workplace index conflicts with its duty to remain independent and impartial. This scheme requires deep organisational compliance and adoption of gender-identity frameworks that are not disclosed to the public. ABC reporting now reflects these frameworks while major developments on sex based rights, safeguarding and the treatment of same-sex-attracted youth are barely covered. We have asked the ABC to explain its involvement, release the material provided and commit to an independent review.
