A Queensland Liberal National party official sent an election-eve email to branch members – on party letterhead – claiming that the state had been “captured by transgender ideology”. The email also promoted plans to ban puberty blockers for minors.
The state opposition has repeatedly refused to answer questions about the email, obtained by Guardian Australia, amid growing pressure for the LNP leader, David Crisafulli, to clarify the party’s intentions on abortion, voluntary assisted dying and gender issues.
