Despite clear evidence overseas that the gender affirmation approach is harmful to children, and despite the almost complete lack of clinical evidence supporting gender affirmation, Australia continues to allow children to be subjected to it.
Every time I’ve tried to start a parliamentary inquiry into this issue, the Labor government – as well as the main opposition party and the Greens – have moved to block it.
They don’t want this appalling ideology – or their own culpability – exposed to the Australian people.
Only in my home state of Queensland has the prescription of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for children been banned, pending a review of the clinical guidelines.
In all other parts of Australia, thousands of children continue to be subjected to this ideological approach.
All I want to do is protect these kids, and protect those who speak out against this ideology at risk to their safety and livelihood.
I’ve been a figure of Australian politics for 30 years.
My stance, from the very beginning, has been equality for all Australians – regardless of race, colour, sex, or creed.
We didn’t revere someone just because they had more money, success, or power.
We worshipped heroes from battlefields and sporting fields and everyday life, not attention-seekers crying about victimhood or grubby politicians seeking power for the sake of it.
We spoke our minds, and we spoke boldly and freely without concern for being cancelled – or jailed – which is what happened to me.
There’s an Australian concept we refer to as ‘a fair go’.
Australians are generous people, and many of us only want a fair go for ourselves and for everyone else.
It’s the Australian way – or at least it used to be.
But now we have an Australian government which puts the interests of terrorist states, authoritarian regimes, foreign migrants, trans activists, environmental extremists, and corrupt unions before the interests of the Australian people.
Australians no longer feel they have any real say about the crucial decisions that are making their families poorer and their country unrecognisable.
They don’t feel they’re getting a fair go.
They are looking for leadership, and they are looking for leaders who will give their country back to them.
They want do feel secure in their pride for our nation and the achievements of its people, rather than to be told they must be ashamed of it.
They want what any normal American would want: an affordable and secure home, a good education and future prospects for their kids, a safe community, and a decent job or income from a business.
They want a fair go.
And that’s what One Nation wants for all Australians.
We want equal rights for all – and special rights for none.
We want equal laws for all – and special laws for none.
We don’t want special privileges based on divisive ‘identities’; we want to celebrate the one identity all Australians share: being Australian.
We want a prosperous, fair, equal, and powerful country that puts the interests of Australians first.
We don’t want the socialist nightmare Albanese and Labor have planned for us.
We want to re-unite Australia, the land of the fair go. These are my goals.
One Nation’s strength is growing, and I want to build on this strength so that we become a party that will form government in Australia.
Australians are responding to us in numbers: our national membership has doubled since the federal election in May this year, and our polling is at record levels.
We still have a steep hill to climb, but I will never stop fighting to make Australia great again.
God bless America,
and God help Australia!
