School Survey Questions Aussie Kids About Parents’ COVID Compliance

,

Parents contacted my office with concerns they had about a National Assessment Program (NAP) science quiz survey, which targeted children in Grade 6 (11 and 12 years). One of the survey questions was about families ‘compliance’ with the government’s COVID guidelines/regulations.

In Senate Estimates, I asked how relevant this line of questioning was with the stated NAP science objectives and whether the Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) believes this is appropriate questioning for school children, who authorised the questions and who sees the results of the survey.

The COVID response has eroded many people’s faith in the government. Asking children to judge matters of civil compliance does not help build back trust in the wake of the last three years of hell that many families have gone through.

We have yet to receive responses from #ACARA to our questions, but hope to have them before the next Senate Estimates in October.

Stop telling 12-year-olds they were born in the wrong body!

Listen to this brave young woman who has come forward to talk about her firsthand experience of one of the biggest medical scandals in human history.

Ideological gender affirming “care” is not caring. It’s not compassionate.

This barbaric pseudoscience doesn’t answer the mental health needs of young people today. In fact, it does the opposite.

Although we know statistics show that suicide in teens confused about gender is elevated, it is far higher in those who’ve transitioned.

The “fix” makes it worse.

Puberty is a rite of passage to adulthood, not a disease to be mitigated. It’s hard enough without wealthy doctors preying on the insecurities of pre-teens.

In her own words: Stop telling 12 year olds they were born in the wrong body.

Event: Pialba – Fraser Coast Crime Forum

Senator Malcolm Roberts will introduce a very special family to the Fraser Coast community, a family who have been directly touched by the shocking impact of crime in our community. Our area will rally behind these special people, as they share their experiences.

But there is hope. We will be joined by another special guest, a local who is running camps for at-risk kids, a diversion program aimed at youth who need help to be accountable and get on track. There are solutions to the youth crime problem, we just have to ask the questions and place pressure on those who control the leavers. 

These are the stories that need to be shared, the ones that the ‘powers-that-be’ in Brisbane must confront.

Hope to see you there! 

When: Saturday, 10 June 2023 | 11:00 am to 1:00 pm
