By GEORGE CHRISTENSEN
What if praying with your own child could put you on the wrong side of the law?In Tasmania, that is no longer some far-fetched question.
The Tasmanian Greens have released a draft law to ban so-called gay conversion practices. It includes criminal offences, even for conduct directed toward a child. In layman’s language, this means almost any attempt to counsel a child who is confused about their sexuality could become suspect, especially if the counselling steers them towards heterosexuality. It also creates a civil scheme that can lead to reports, investigations and compliance notices.
The Greens are doing what the Greens do. No surprise there. But the real question is whether Liberal and Labor MPs will let this ideological overreach become law.
Supporters say this is about stopping coercion and abuse. Real abuse should be punished. No argument there. But this draft goes much further than that.
The protections for prayer, religious teaching, church standards and parent-child discussions are narrow and conditional. If your prayer, counsel or guidance is judged to have the “purpose” of changing someone’s sexuality or gender identity, that protection can disappear.
That puts loving parents, pastors, counsellors and faith communities in a very dangerous position. Ordinary Christian care could suddenly be treated as something suspicious. A prayer. A conversation around the kitchen table. A pastor trying to help someone live according to their faith.
This is not just a Tasmanian issue, either. If this kind of law gets through in one state without a fight, activists will point to it everywhere else. That is why Christians, parents and civil-liberties supporters across Australia have every reason to sign and speak up.
ABC reports both Liberal Premier Jeremy Rockliff and Labor Opposition Leader Josh Willie already support a ban. That makes public pressure even more important.
If MPs do not hear strong objections, this will harden fast. Party rooms will lock in. Amendments will become harder. Families and churches will be left dealing with the consequences.
Here is why this matters so much. Coercion and abuse can be banned without putting prayer, pastoral care and parenting under legal suspicion. Tasmanian MPs can protect people from harm while also protecting basic freedoms. This draft does not get that balance right.
The bill’s exemptions are conditional. Prayer, religious teaching and family conversations are excluded only when they are deemed separate from a “conversion practice.” That means the fight will often come down to alleged purpose and intent.
The child-related offence is especially alarming. The draft creates an indictable offence for practices directed toward a child, with no need to prove any injury.
Even without a conviction, the civil scheme can still do plenty of damage. Complaints, investigations and compliance notices can become punishment by process. Plenty of decent people will simply stop speaking, stop praying, or stop counselling honestly rather than risk being dragged through it.
Parents are the primary carers and moral guides of their children. Pastors and faith leaders must be free to pray, teach and counsel according to conscience and Scripture.
If this law passes without strong safeguards, Tasmania will import the same civil-liberties problems that have already alarmed faith communities elsewhere.
And here is the good news: your voice can genuinely change this outcome.
Tasmanian MPs are facing a live legislative decision. The bill is expected to come before parliament later in 2026. It is moving, but it is not locked in yet.
Yes, both major party leaders reportedly back a ban. But individual MPs still have room to demand amendments, especially if they see a large public backlash forming.
A strong wave of signatures from Christians, parents and civil-liberties supporters raises the political cost of overreach. It gives sympathetic MPs something to point to. It tells undecided MPs that religious freedom and parental rights are not fringe issues. They matter to ordinary voters.
A win in Tasmania would send a message across Australia. It would show that religious freedom and parental rights still have organised public support, and that governments cannot just brush these concerns aside.
Now picture the alternative. The bill passes without robust amendments. Prayer, pastoral counselling and parent-child conversations become legally risky whenever someone alleges an intent to change or suppress sexuality or gender identity.
Faith leaders and parents start censoring themselves. Complaints and investigations become a weapon. Children are left with fewer trusted adults willing to speak honestly from a Christian worldview.
There is hope, Billy. But we need to act now, and we need to act in force.
Citizens have the right to contact their MPs at any time. We do not need to sit around waiting for a formal consultation window, a committee process, or permission from the political class. MPs work for the people, and they need to hear from the people before this bill goes any further.
We need as many signatures as possible to make an impression MPs cannot ignore.
For faith, family and freedom,
George Christensen, and the entire team at CitizenGO

“The immunity implied is now to protect children.”
* The immunity implied is NOT-not-not to protect children.
“Registered health practitioners, doctors, nurses, shrinks, etc. all have full commercial liability for their actions.”
That is the same for any medical interaction. Not specific for just this proposed legislation in Tasmania. — Debbie from Reality
.
The proposed act in its present form will give registered health practitioners immunity from prosecution for performing genital mutilation and prescribing hormone products to young men and women.
.
It is a crime to cut a woman’s genitalia, it comes with a penalty of twenty one years in prison; but not for cutting off a foreskin with a sharp scalpel without painkillers on a days old baby boy, the cruel fockers.
.
The immunity implied is now to protect children.
.
My comments are not personally directed against your perceptions Debbie from Reality, but against gloBAALists’ intentions to deceive plebeians like yourself.
.
Duck.
Firstly the Pfizer’s Comirnaty COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine is not what they say it is.
It is a Liquid Chip.
It’s rather easy to prove. All anyone has to do is find someone that has had the shot (and is showing symptoms with weird health problems like shingles or cellulitis and or myocarditis)
Then turn on your phone’s Bluetooth and then record by screenshot how many Bluetooth connections you have. Then get that person you are testing to go out of range and come back and you will see what I’m talking about.
Mind you it’s important that they are showing weird symptoms because there seems to be quite a few people that got saline shots for some special reason.
When you confirm that people have the Bluetooth MAC address number then ask yourself how or WHY did they put an mRNA gene editing compound in there plus a spike protein (as some people say) THEN on top of that WHY did they put a liquid chip in there as well.
Then you can ask yourself WHAT are all of the Data Centers for?
Could it be that they need all of the data centres around the world for connecting to people’s chip. ?
Makes sense doesn’t it.
As for
“Registered health practitioners, doctors, nurses, shrinks, etc. all have full commercial liability for their actions.”
That is the same for any medical interaction. Not specific for just this proposed legislation in Tasmania.
The supposed medical safeguards written in documents and government agencies are a quagmire of legalese with the purpose and intent of confusion, deception and alike. They are not written for the benefit of the people. And they’ve hijacked the Constitution so there is no reason to refer to it.
We the people are supposed to be walking around in pleasant grassy fields (freedom) but they’ve turned it into a swamp. Best to travel in an Airboat (a type of mindset that avoids the paperwork and law sludge)
Everything these days is vomituous Corporate Law.
Maybe you could change your name to Duck’nWeave because we are already in a cataclysm of mind boggling laws, rules and regulations that are not designed for a peaceful and healthy life.
How about all you millions of ‘Christians’ out there outlaw the Greens instead? Too hard to bother about protecting your kids’ welfare and future?
#GloBaalist #Puppeticians adhere to the prince of this world.
“The parts that you have quoted are normal protocol in medicine and law these days.
.
Nothing special about this.”
.
I beg to differ Debbie with Reality.
.
The Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act (The Constitution) is very specific and written in plain English so as to be unambiguous.
.
The Parliament of the Commonwealth cannot enforce any form of medical conscription onto We the People of the Commonwealth of Australia.
.
It’s not within Parliamentary power, Federal or State to grant immunity regarding medical conscriptions.
.
What the Federal Parliament cannot do, the States and Territories parliaments cannot do.
.
The Constitution is protected from statutory encroachment.
.
Registered health practitioners, doctors, nurses, shrinks, etc. all have full commercial liability for their actions.
.
As an example, please show me the written immunity from prosecution, given to a doctor, signed by a Federal or State government minister for administering experimental gene editing technologies, eg. sponsor Pfizer’s Comirnaty COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine throughout the COVID PANDEMIC.

So what happens when a gender converted young boy/girl realises that he/she is not a girl or boy and hates his/her folks for not even making an attempt to talk him/her out of his/her fantasy?
.
Who is going to be responsible and answerable for the outcome to both the boy/girl and to the parents?
.
Is this is yet another attempt to alienate children from their parents and vice versa? Is it actually part of the 2030 Agenda of destroying the family unit as the foundation of our society? A New World Order where children belong to the state bureaucracy rather than their parents?
.
Or is it , along with the promotion of homosexuality, simply a covert way of discouraging people from having children by telling parents their role is irrelevant?
.
What political scum dares come between parents and their children? Why do we tolerate and accept their meddling?
cataclysmic duck
The parts that you have quoted are normal protocol in medicine and law these days.
Nothing special about this.
This is not for just the proposed legislation offered by the Greens.
It’s just legal jargon.
My points are made in brackets below each section.
——————
(i) the registered health practitioner has assessed as clinically appropriate for a person, in the registered health practitioner’s reasonable professional judgement;
(Meaning that if someone needs an operation to maintain a healthy life due to some accident or deformity it’s okay to go ahead with an operation. This stands for all other medical treatments today)
(ii) complies with all relevant legal, professional and ethical requirements
(So this covers all of the relevant requirements that all operations or medications are to satisfy. This is also a standing requirement for all medical operations and medications today)
(b) genuinely facilitating a person’s coping skills, development or identity exploration to meet the person’s needs, including by providing acceptance, support or understanding to the person;
(This too is a normal standing protocol for the Psychological department of practitioners)
——————-
And yes. That Rosalie Woodruff is definitely a unit worthy of suspicion. So was Bob Brown.
Rosalie Woodruff’s partner is Architect Paul Gibson.
Partner of Tasmanian Greens leader Rosalie Woodruff, has been tapped as a candidate for the Legislative Council seat of Huon as the party aims to double its representation in the upper house.
I suppose the Greens have manoeuvre to stay in power with adding people like this.
I guess it’s all about the money and power for them.
So all of this does not mean that there should not be a law about conversion procedures.
As I said.
It’s going to be interesting if the proposed legislation goes through.
The first thing I would do is encourage people to use that law against the education department.
Is the proposed legislation about protecting children?
.
or

Giving Immunity from prosecution to registered health practitioners who perform a genital mutilation operation and assign hormone conversion therapy.

Tasmanian Greens leader Rosalie Woodruff, sourced from the T.G.’s website, worked for the [Bill Gates sponsored] World Health Organisation; in 2007 moved from the ACT [A.C.T.] to Lutruwita [a name contrived for Tasmania, that due to its similarity appears to have been plagiarised from Van Diemen’s Land’s “Neville the Devil”, George Augustus Robinson’s manuscripts] and champions the health needs for women and the LGBTIQ+ community.

But Claude.
The article clearly states that the proposed legislation is an attack on Christianity and therefore it’s values, while ignoring the main point of protecting children.
By mentioning prayers. (which is mentioned in the proposed legislation) the article jumps straight into Christians being attacked story.
So what I am pointing out is that the article is profoundly incorrect.
Going on the ‘Christians are being attacked’ is ludicrous.
Even by the mentioning of prayers and then pointing towards Christians is also ridiculous given that Moslems seem to pray more often than Christians.
I agree with Christian values but I don’t agree with an article that is written so badly and then published on a notable site like this about something that doesn’t exist which was said to be and inferred an anti-christian proposed legislation.
And then what got me even more riled up was the fact that the main point of the proposed legislation was totally ignored. That’s terrible. And bad for the movement of people who are trying to protect children from conversion practices whether it’s the Greens or not.
I don’t like any political party especially the Greens with their climate change bullshit. But that is not the issue here is it.
The article has probably done I
irrevocable damage to the attempt to give children more protection.
I can see that if this proposed legislation goes through it will effect the education’s system of coersion with regards to the gender bender curriculum.
I hope the author and CN make amends and remove this article and THEN write a correct appraisal of the proposed legislation. They could say and admit that they don’t like the Greens Party but admit that the proposed legislation about the halting of the conversion practices is a good idea.
This subject of protecting the children goes very deep.

Look at him and then stop and think. What group and people do you think he belongs to. And then think what group of people are behind the child abuse business worldwide.
I was going to look at all of these people with the same position around Australia but I cannot do anything about it so that would go nowhere.
But the proposed legislation against conversion practices would be a good start.
I wonder what Robert Benjamin AM KC will do about it?
Push and pull from the background is my guess.
It’s doesn’t have to mention Christianity Debbie!
ITS IMPLIED!
There’s no need for you to smear and dismiss my view of this.
Although you make a good point that this wicked legislation could catch anyone and any religion and that children should be protected from govt brainwashing and manipulation.
Still the fact remains that nobody in govt is bannning Muslim prayer, or aboriginal religious practices or Jewish free speech…. Only Christian’s ones.
These sorts of laws are directly targeted as biblical principles, practices and speech.
We still live in a Christian country and our government is clearly doing everything that it can to undermine our constitution, the traditional religion, institutions and family structure that built this great nation.
Mentioning Swiss elite Satanism is not the same as commenting on Christianity
Some people here in the comments are missing the main point.
Read the Bill Explainer in the link below >
https://cppbilltas.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Conversion-Practices-Bill-Explainer.pdf
Where oh where does the proposed legislation say that Christians are the only people that will be persecuted for protecting their children from the brainwashing technique that is in the education system right now?
A proposed legislation that would protect children from mental manipulation of their natural born sex identity in schools and alike is a correct thing to do no matter who proposes it.
The Bill is an attack on anybody that tries to convert a child by any means. It’s NOT an attack on Christianity. If you put it another way if you like.
It’s an attack on the pedifile community.
Even the Muslim community would be against the onslaught of gender manipulation of their children.
In fact they would probably call for the beheading of the culprits if you referenced the Muslim teachings.
Some of the comments here are ludicrous.
It’s not about Christian children or Christians people at all.
It’s about ALL CHILDREN!
I can’t believe that some people here are missing the point.
Maybe the Greens are trying to get brownie points with this proposed legislation.
Who cares.
It’s about the children’s future.
So why don’t you just read the proposed legislation instead of pushing the “They are gunning for the Christian community” angle.?
Here is an excerpt from the proposed legislation.>
______________
The bill also makes it clear that, so long as it is NOT part of a conversion practice, none of the
following is a conversion practice in and of itself:
• an expression, including in prayer, of a belief or principle, including a religious belief or
principle;
• an expression that a belief or principle ought to be followed or applied;
• stating what relevant religious teachings are, or what a religion says, about a specific
topic;
• the making, application or communication of general requirements in relation to
religious orders, or membership or leadership of a religious community;
• parents discussing matters relating to sexual orientation, gender identity, sexual
activity or religion with their children.
_____________
So if you are not performing or trying to convert your child through a conversion practice, you can pray in whatever religious manner you want.
IT DOES NOT MENTION CHRISTIANS specifically AT ALL.!
Take note George Christensen (and others)
People listed below who are saying that this proposed legislation is an anti-christian thing should read it properly and not rely on what this article by George Christensen conveys.

Ban Conversion Practices>
https://cppbilltas.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Conversion-Practices-Bill-Explainer.pdf
This is already law in Victoria under that evil troll Dictator Dan. He also criminalised other Christian practices.
Remember he banned church during Covid, tried to ban the Lord’s Prayer in Parliament but allowed sex on premises…. Go figure.
It just goes to show you just how antichrist our governments have become.
Just a few years ago all these trans kids sex changes, drag queen story time, gender fluidity porn in schools etc was considered child abuse.
Now trying to protect your children from the loony left is considered child abuse. It’s upside down.
It’s insane.
There’s plenty of young people who are speaking out after having been victims of the brainwashing and chemical and surgical mutilation practices by lefty quacks and militant trans activists. They find themselves permanently changed and find that it hasn’t given them the happiness they were promised. They now find they’re permanent pharma customers who have to take hormones to stay in their chosen “sex”, sterile and unable to have children and have developed many other body and psych problems and side effects that they were never told about.
They’re very angry about it but you never hear about those stories in the lying, depraved, sold out legacy media.
I personally know some of these people.
It’s also not a new problem.
I’ve known these trans people for over 40 years and I’ve never met one that is happy with their situation.
This has already been banned in the extreme left UK because of all this.
But as you know the Australian government (s) have never seen a failed policy that they weren’t keen to impose on the Australian population.
Under the insidious guise of “protecting the children” they are instead abusing them and gradually criminality the Bible and Christianity at the same time.
If Christian’s don’t speak up loudly over this now they will soon find the Bible banned as “hate speech” and churches banned as “hate groups”.
This is a Trojan horse!
Christian persecution is coming to Australia.
Next they’ll be throwing Christian’s to the lions.
That orta sort out the men from the boys.
Don’t bag the Greens for there support of the proposed law.
Aren’t they pushing for a law to protect children?
It’s a big issue and very important.
Just because the Greens are supporting it doesn’t mean that the proposed legislation is wrong.
Someone must have come up with it for a reason.
Bagging the Greens is bagging the attempt to protect the children from brainwashing rainbow crap that has riddled the education system of late.
Having posted my comment below, there is a crucial factor within this proposed law in Tasmania.
If it is passed, then it will work like a perfect weeding out program.
Firstly. It will stop the inversion program within the education system.
That will be the first thing that will happen. And many many teachers will be relieved.
Second.
It will spread throughout society in general.
Then we can get back to normal.
Like the old days where people that have a tendency for homosexuality will be pitied rather than scolded.
Where people of that persuasion will be offered psychiatric help or hormone therapy if they choose.
The main thing is that this proposed law will pull out the Inversion Weed by the roots over time.
But no doubt the ‘Monitors’ like Robert Benjamin around the country will try to invert it. Like George seems to have done.
He may not have done that on purpose, but what his article says is inversion of reality.
There should be alarm bells going off in your minds right now.
I remember when I was in highschool, the were about 6 students that were gay but hid it.
Out of 500 students in our school you could say that there might have been at least 25 students overall but I didn’t notice the other 19.
500÷25 = 20
That’s 5%
Why should 5% of the population dictate the other 95%?
If that were how things should work then Democracy is out the window (which it is now and that is why we are in such of a mess).
Let’s say that this 5% is a worldwide statistic.
That means you can kiss the 1% ruling class theory goodbye.
So it’s becoming more apparent that about 5% of the population are these Inversion people who rule the world because of their sexual orientation instead of the natural common sense and good will towards a real and natural family structure that feeds and supports our planet’s future.
Call them satanists if you like. It doesn’t matter.
They are about 5% of the population.
Don’t forget that this mob has produced a massive thriving industry of child sexual abuse, child trafficking and worse things like cannibalism along with that Adrenochrome industry. (which I haven’t witnessed but seems to be true)
It’s insanity.
That sort of thing makes me suspect that they are in fact possessed by something not human.
I wish that I could convey my thoughts on this matter as colourful as Pat from Victoria.
Go Pat.
This subject touches a nerve in a big way because it is so obvious that we natura life respecting adults in the community are the only people that can protect children.
On a side note.
I wonder how many ‘Monitors’ like Robert Benjamin are in Australia state by state?
And what group do they belong to?
I’d bet my left nut that these feral Aussie hating Greens filth would not dare try this sort of crap with Islamic – Muslim voters. They’d be too shit scared to even mention it for fear of violence, retribution or lost votes.
there is no such thing as trans kids – this breaches the so called child welfare act
as this is evidence of adults and in particular the greens subjecting kids to a mental disorder in advocating for a child to be mentally abused. Time to end this crap and really start prosecuting parasites like the greens, they have no lawful rights to interfere with peoples religious faith but to bestow mental abuse of a child in corrupting their minds to live in a la la land delusion that they are not the gender they are born with. If the greens are also advocating for the drugs associated with trans mentality then the greens should be prosecuted to the extent of endangering life and biological development of a child also. There is already videos of so called trans kids where they grow up and actually are biologically and mentally damaged beyond repair of them expressing their anger over their violation by the adults around them and are in major despair due to the damages of their biological functions
This trans kids thing is a crime against humanity by all the adults like the greens
GEORGE CHRISTENSEN said
“If your prayer, counsel or guidance is judged to have the “purpose” of changing someone’s sexuality or gender identity, that protection can disappear.”
That statement and the rest of his article is bending the truth about what the draft law is all about.
The draft law is about stopping the landslide of pressure on young children about their identity with regards to what sex they are.
The pressure in pre- school and primary school to ‘educate’ the children about their ‘sexuality’ at the moment is enormous and relentless.
This seems to be an attack by the new world order mob on nature itself. And if you think about it is actually a depopulation tactic. (besides being a social Chaos factor)
I have seen this tactic being used on my 6 year old granddaughter.
It’s ludicrous, and my son has to debrief her quite often after she has been at school. (and he’s a teacher at a Catholic school)
I don’t support the Greens or any other political party for that matter, but what the Tasmanian draft law is going to do is opposite to what George Christensen said in his article.
It will most likely spread for sure. But it will be a spearhead for common sense and nature.
Has George Christensen lost his mind. Or does he ‘work’ for the other side?
I’m guessing that there is something in Tasmania that has brought this matter to a head. And good on them for proposing this law that will bring back normality to the education system.
This gender confusion business is nuts and so it seems is George Christensen.
His article smacks of Truth Inversion. A tactic used by the New World Order mob and the WEF mob. (and we all know who controls them)
I had a look at the structure of the present child safety systems in Tasmania and I nearly fell off my chair.
Take a good look at this fellow in the link below.
If you cannot see the problem, you are the problem. (George)

How did the Greens Party become a vehicle for Globalist policies of the elites and UN, one conduit is Sarah H-Y, a Klaus Swab protege from way back, who tried to be Greens leader but was rejected by the party because of her inherent ugliness and desperation. Poor relevance deprived SH-Y never lets on she is an “infiltraitor”, according to her patron uncle Klaus. Is anyone else under direct global influence ? I would say the wheelchair guy Steel-John must be after hearing his rabid rant about how we must send soldiers to, what was it, Ukraina probably, delivered from the comfort of his wheelchair, I have never seen such rubbish from a wheelchair afflicted, demanding others go and die for the sake of the misinformation churning around between his ears. Greens Party should stick to forests and rivers and get their brains and probably arses out of Swissyland agendas. Depop is already happening but the bolted on Greens Party are importing currymunchers to foil their own agenda via their majority shareholder the ALP. Greens Party supports ClimateChange™ dogma and CarbonCredits™ tax system because it saves them doing anything about forests and rivers, because they are putting their SafetyUmbrella™ over everything with their silly CO2 scare campaign. Relevance deprived SH-Y and the Greens Party now have nowhere to run, all their policies are based on some progressive nonsense we may as well call “lemming theory” because it goes nowhere. They only stand for fictional things from Klaus Swab’s rainbow unicorn land which is Swissyland in disguise, the home of the devil, all the satanists go there for their banking, networking and agenda setting. Since Egyptian times the elite agenda has been the same, to dis-empower the masses, depop and control them, promoting homosexuality is just one of these attack vectors, splitting up families and getting people on welfare to bankrupt them is agenda, it’s no accident.
Talmudic transgender Justice! Suck it up Christ lovers…OR FIGHT BACK! Will they expect the Muslims to do the same, shut up and let their kid think they are the other sex? Of course not, one rule for thee and none for them…Discrimination. Throw their bullshit back at them, time to claim loudly that Christians are deliberately being targetted and discriminated against and it will not be tolerated. Fark the Jews and their war against God and man…We have a right to fight back you know.
