🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Yumi Styne’s graphic sex-ed book for kids as young as 8, which teaches about porn, sexting and other unsafe sex acts, has been short-listed for the Prime Minister’s Literary Awards. What a disgrace from the Anthony Albanese Government. #Auspol 🔗

🚨BREAKING: Victorian parents outraged over the removal of single-sex bathrooms at Camberwell Primary School. ‘“We are deeply concerned that the school approved building plans and completely withheld from the parent community their plans for that – specifically, the exclusion of single-sex bathrooms,” Ms Woods told Sky News Australia. ‘She says parents’ main concerns are for girls’ safety, privacy and dignity.’ ‘“To ignore that, when so many people have expressed their concerns, is very egregious and it’s a breach of the duty of trust and care.”’ ‘WomensForumAustralia head of advocacy Stephanie Bastiaan says there is growing parental concern around safety and privacy, as more schools ditch single-sex facilities in favour of unisex.’ ‘“This seems to be a prominent problem and it doesn't matter if you're in country Victoria or in inner-city Melbourne, parents are saying the same message,” Ms Bastiaan said.’ ‘“Girls need the dignity of a private space, particularly when they're using the bathrooms. They shouldn't be forced in a situation where they have to share with boys.’ ‘“It disadvantages them and makes them feel very uncomfortable and that's the message we're getting from parents. Girls are simply not using the bathroom, they're holding on all day. That is bad for their health and it's unfair that they're in this position at all.”’ Read more from Caroline Marcus: #SpringSt

In an extraordinary exchange with The Australian journalist Rachel Baxendale, Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan could barely contain her disdain while being questioned about the fact that teachers are socially transitioning kids at school behind parents' backs. With her manipulation tactics, it seems Allan cares more about protecting gender ideology than vulnerable kids being preyed upon by activist teachers. #SpringSt

🚨 Australia’s medical regulator Ahpra is investigating Jillian Spencer again. Not for harming a patient. Not for misconduct. For sharing a news article. The witch hunt against brave doctors speaking out about the harms of medical gender interventions continues. 🔗 Read more: #Auspol

🎥 🔥 OPINIONATED: Last Friday I joined Danica De Giorgio on Sky News Australia to share a couple of strong opinions about Anna Cody’s ‘damage control’ op-ed in Australian after #PregnantManGate - and Julia Gillard’s reflection on experiencing misogyny as PM, which somehow didn’t include the part where her government wrote the fiction of gender ideology into the Sex Discrimination Act and erased the definition of woman.

Forty-six Queensland kindergarten children have been nominated as ‘non-binary’ by their parents this year. Kids do not think or question if they’ve been born in the wrong body unless it's been suggested to them. It is reprehensible that adults are imposing gender ideology on kids and inflicting them with gender distress. I spoke to Peta Credlin on Sky News Australia this week about this and my concerns about QLD kindergartens normalising gender ideology by asking for pronouns and gender identity on enrolment forms. #qldpol

“The punishment is in the process.” Sall Grover’s case is being funded by grassroots support, while Roxanne Tickle has been gifted a grant from The Grata Fund at UNSW Sydney, has pro-bono lawyers and barristers, and also has the backing of our taxpayer funded Sex Discrimination Commissioner, who briefed multiple barristers to argue sex isn’t real ‘amicus curiae’ to the court 🙄. It was great to chat to Danica De Giorgio on Sky News Australia after the #GigglevTickle appeal!

How many women need to be assaulted in custody by trans-identifying male prisoners before it's no longer a ‘niche issue’, Premier Peter Malinauskas? Why are the feelings of men more important than the safety of women when it comes to Corrections policy? I spoke to Danica De Giorgio on Sky News Australia about the fresh allegations of abuse and indignity against Leslie ‘Krista’ Richards by a second female victim. #SAParli #GetThemOut

💯 “There are safety issues that need to be considered about this.” - Senator Leah Blyth 🚨 School girls told to use disabled toilet if they feel unsafe after a Catholic school in Adelaide permitted an 11-year-old boy to use the female bathrooms after identifying as a girl. ⚠️ Peter Malinauskas, this is atrocious. You can’t hide behind the Catholic Education Office. The Department for Education SA policies aren't ‘inclusive’, they deprive girls of the dignity, privacy and safety of single-sex spaces. #saparli

Victorian schools are teaching kids about gender ideology, and now it's been revealed that teachers can determine kids to be ‘mature minors’ and socially transition them at school without parental knowledge or consent. What’s equally bad is that Jacinta Allan’s Victorian Labor government is refusing to record how many kids this is happening to, having voted down a motion by Moira Deeming MP to keep this data. I spoke with Danica De Giorgio and james macpherson about my concerns on this matter. #SpringSt

“The safety and wellbeing of all prisoners in Victoria's correction system is of paramount importance,” says Jacinta Allan. Yet it took just two months for male murderer Clinton Rintoull to sexually assault a female inmate after being transferred to a women’s prison. He was housed alongside his victim, a young mum with a baby in accordance with Victorian Labor’s prison policy. Gender ideology at the expense of women’s safety. Horrific. 📣 Sign our petition to #GetThemOut: #SpringSt

⚽️ Extraordinary revelations this week by Ben Fordham Live on 2GB Sydney. Female footballers in Sydney’s Women’s Super League have been forced to sign individual agreements stating they will not forfeit games - even if they feel unsafe competing against a team with male players who identify as women. 🤯 And even more absurd are the claims made this week by Australian Human Rights Commission President Hugh de Kretser, who said at the National Press Club on Wednesday that he can’t see a clash between women’s rights and trans rights. 💰💰💰Why are we paying this bloke half a million dollars a year?! ✍️ Sign our petition to #SaveWomensSports: 🎥 Check out Caroline Marcus’s documentary Fair Game: #Auspol

A young girl’s dream of reaching the Olympics begins on her local field, in school sports and community competitions. But when policies allow biological males to compete against girls, the dreams of girls are shattered, discouraging our brightest female talent from even trying. But as I said to Caroline Marcus in her report for Sky News Australia: “What we're seeing now is a rise in parental backlash - parents who are investing in their daughters' futures in sport,” “They’re recognising that there is something wrong and very unfair about the fact that girls are missing out or they're at risk of injury due to these policies.” Read more: #Auspol #SaveWomensSports

🚨 It was great to join Rita Panahi on Sky News Australia to discuss Jasmine Sussex’s (@jazzmoi3) case before QCAT. 🚩 Jasmine, a breastfeeding specialist, has been dragged to court by a trans-identifying activist who’s accused her of a range of things, including ‘vilification’ for expressing concerns over gender-confused men trying to ‘chest feed’ their infants. 🚩 Mothers are cautioned against consuming things like alcohol and caffeine while breastfeeding. Yet, despite the lack of safety and nutritional data on drug-induced ‘galactorrhea’ that also contains ‘gender-affirming’ hormones being fed to newborns from trans-identifying men’s nipples, organisations like the Australian Breastfeeding Association and Royal Women’s Hospital, Melbourne, continue to support it. 🚩 Women like Jasmine shouldn't have to face court for voicing concerns. It’s unethical that babies are being subjected to these types of medical experiments to fulfil the fantasies of the adults who are meant to be caring for them. #Auspol

You’d think one sexual assault by a male trans-identifying prisoner would be enough for Victorian Labor to impose a blanket ban on men in women’s prisons. It wasn’t. Instead, Australian Labor would rather risk women’s safety than admit that gender ideology is a failed experiment built on a lie. Because the moment they concede biological sex matters in prison, the logical conclusion is that it matters everywhere else too. 📣 Sign our petition to #GetThemOut: #SpringSt Jacinta Allan

🚨 BREAKING: LNP - Liberal National Party announce they will halt the implementation of the recommendations from QLD Labour’s dodgy review into QLD gender clinics last year and confirm they do NOT support the expansion of QLD gender services. 🚨 The Health Minister Tim Nicholls MP has also also reiterated his concern of puberty blockers being prescribed to kids. This practice should be suspended immediately in line with international recommendations. 👏 Nonetheless wonderful to finally see some strong leadership on this issue David Crisafulli, Jarrod Bleijie and Tim Nicholls MP. Look forward to seeing this evolve. #QLDpol

🚨Girls in South Australia have lost their female-based rights. Male students who identify as girls can use their bathrooms, change rooms, accommodation and compete in female sports. This is wrong and unfair. 📣 Join WomensForumAustralia in calling on Premier Peter Malinauskas to guarantee female-only facilities, accommodation, and sports for girls in every South Australian school: #SAParli

This morning, South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas disgraced himself further by tripling down on his position that violence against women in prison is a ‘niche issue’ while talking to Matt Abraham on FIVEAA. No matter how hard he tries to spin this as a ‘transgender rights in prison’ issue, South Australians aren’t fooled: when it comes to violence against women, Malinauskas is a phoney. ✍️ Sign our petition to #GetThemOut: #SAparli

It’s been 3 days since the The Australian reported that a female inmate was sexually assaulted in an SA prison after being locked in a cell with a violent trans-identifying male offender, and Peter Malinauskas has said nothing. No commitment to investigate. No plan to stop it from happening again, just hand balling inquiries to the Corrections Minister. It seems Malinauskas is taking a leaf out of @JacintaAllanMPM’s book with his shameful lack of leadership in holding Corrections SA to account. But the buck stops with you, Premier. I chatted with Danica De Giorgio and james macpherson on Sky News Australia about the case. #SAParli
