Australia has its 'head in the sand' about gender identity services for children

Victorian Libertarian Party MP David Limbrick says Australia has its “head in the sand” regarding handling gender identity services for children. This follows the American College of Paediatricians urging medical bodies to abandon support for gender-affirming care for transgender youths. “We’ve had many of these reviews now, like the Cass review, and many countries have been doing a U-turn… but Australia just seems to be putting its head in the sand,” Mr Limbrick told Sky News host Rita Panahi. “There was a response from the health minister for the Victorian government just recently in response to a petition on this topic and they basically just said everything’s going fine. “Governments, they’ve been captured by these activists. “They have to face reality - that what’s happening is being questioned, and we need to look it at much more seriously.”
