After tabling his transphobic and homophobic bill to Parliament last year, Senator Alex Antic has brought on a motion today to have his bill referred to committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But like everything Antic does, this is just a stunt to justify more hate speech in Parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Australian Greens LGBTIQA+ Spokesperson, Stephen Bates MP, condemns this bill and Antic\u2019s shameful attempt to import American culture wars to Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stephen Bates MP, Australian Greens LGBTIQA+ Spokesperson<\/strong> said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Antic is trying once again to ram through an inquiry for him and his far right buddies to spruik hate and misinformation \u2014 putting kids\u2019 lives at risk.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n These transphobes are desperate for media attention so they can pretend their fringe views have any relevance here. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n An inquiry is just another platform for stunts and another excuse to go on Sky News After Dark. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Senator has the implicit backing of the Liberal Party in introducing his bill and goes to show that you can never trust the Liberals with LGBTIQA+ rights.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n We should not give this man and his crusade against trans kids any more oxygen. We should stop this bill and any more fake debate. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Transphobia has no place in our Parliament. Trans rights are non-negotiable. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After tabling his transphobic and homophobic bill to Parliament last year, Senator Alex Antic has brought on a motion today to have his bill referred to committee.
