One Nation MLC Sarah Game has again displayed her determination to stand up for parents and taxpayers \u2013 this time earning support for helping to publicise a South Australian council\u2019s plans to stage a kids\u2019 storytime conducted by a local drag queen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since being elected in 2022 Sarah has introduced various bills to defend family integrity and children\u2019s rights, including the Education and Children\u2019s Services (Parental Primacy) Amendment Bill 2024 that aims to give parents more control over the education their children receive on issues of morality, ethics, politics, social values, and identity \u2013 including gender and sexuality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This latter platform saw Sarah respond to constituents who raised concerns about a planned show titled “Rainbow Storytime”, scheduled to take place today (Monday 15 July) at the Salisbury Community Hub Library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Part of a school holiday program, the event is featuring Adelaide drag performer Fifi, who will read stories such as \u201cChicken Divas\u201d and \u201cJust the Way We Are\u201d to children of all ages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Initially, Sarah wrote to the SA Minister for Local Government, plus the Minister for Education, outlining her concerns and the concerns of locals, who were outraged at the Salisbury City Council\u2019s plans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sarah told the ministers that numerous people had voiced their view that shows with adult themes \u2013 such as drag acts \u2013 are inappropriate for young audiences and said that public funds should never be used for such events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She asked about the criteria used to determine the appropriateness of such content, plus the frequency of council-organised events involving adult-themed content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPublic institutions must run with integrity and transparency, ensuring that taxpayer funds are spent in a way that is consistent with the expectations and values of the community,\u201d she told the ministers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following that letter, Sarah last week featured in a front-page article in the Adelaide Advertiser about the planned show, telling the paper she believes it is \u201ctotally inappropriate for young children\u201d to be encouraged to question their \u201cgender identity and gender fluidity\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a growing concern in the community about teaching children about gender fluidity because we don\u2019t really understand the impact that has on young minds,\u201d Sarah said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey\u2019re adult concepts and it\u2019s confusing for children; I think we just need to allow children to be children, and let them grow up and be who they are without these other influences.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
