I’m back in court today.
Anti-free speech LGBTQA+ drag queens are fighting me in the Queensland Supreme Court.
It is the next phase of litigation initiated by them which is now in its seventh year.
My lawyers are defending me in a full day hearing at which I can’t be in attendance due to a prior commitment in Canberra.
The background to this is that in 2020 I wrote a blog saying they were dangerous role models to children, which they are.
A look at their Facebook pages convinced me of that.
They commenced legal action against me which compelled me to mediation in the Queensland Human Rights Commission, a taxpayer-funded organisation which thinks a man can be a woman and that sexualised queer culture is fine for little children.
When they failed to get me to apologise and censor my commentary on the danger of LGBTQA+ drag queens to children, they sued me in the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
The matter finally went to trial in the tribunal in 2022. In 2023 I received a judgement vindicating me.
With the help of taxpayer-funded lawyers, the LGBT Legal Service, they appealed.
One year after the three-day appeal hearings in the Queensland Civil and Administrative Appeal Tribunal, I received a judgement upholding their appeal. While no finding of vilification has yet been made against me, this was a setback.
My lawyers have applied for Judicial Review of the QCAAT decision. That is what the drag queens are fighting today.
They are also asking the court to indemnify them of costs. They want me to pay their costs even if I win. Make it make sense.
Australia’s flawed anti-discrimination and anti-vilification laws allow people with protected attributes of sexuality or gender special protections to sue people who question the ideology which underpins their identity.
They are anti-free speech, and these aspects of the law need to be repealed in order to restore freedom of speech.
Children cannot be protected from harmful LGBTQA+ gender fluid ideology and sexualised queer culture unless we have free speech.
We need politicians with courage to fix these laws but we don’t have any at this time.
It is one of the reasons I’m involved in the raising of the Family First Party and why I’m running for the NSW Legislative Council at the up-coming election.
Without freedom of speech, we are not free.
One final point. A political lobby group with special tax-deductible status not available to most political lobby groups, Equality Australia, is publicly backing the drag queens.
Equality Australia issued a media release welcoming my setback in the QCAAT.
The patron of Equality Australia is the Governor General Sam Mostyn. Her co-patron is the drag queen Shane Jenek, otherwise known as Courtney Act.
It is inappropriate for the Governor General to be patron of an organisation which is at the forefront of trying to suppress the free speech of Australian citizens.
It’s actually flat out wrong.
In my view, and probably that of millions of Australian mums and dads, it is also inappropriate (flat out wrong) for the Governor General to be associated with a LGBTQA+ drag queen.
It is also wrong for the Governor General to support an organisation which defends Australia’s regime of LGBTQA+ child gender clinics which chemically castrate and mutilate the bodies of children who thing they are born in the wrong body.
It will be weeks, possibly months, before I know the outcome of today’s hearing.
One thing I do know is that there is no end in sight to the litigation against me.
I will keep you posted.
In the meantime, I am running as hard as I can to get elected to the NSW Parliament because the solution to free speech lies with Parliaments.
