Grateful to be able to offer my support to Billboard Chris in person at Parliament House today after the concerning events in Queen Street Mall Brisbane.
As I’ve said many times in Senate speeches and other forums, gender dysphoria should be met with compassion and understanding, not a scalpel or hormone drugs.
Our children need support during adolescence, not automatic affirmation that could lead to irreversible harm. Given that children are not mature enough to consent to treatments that will result in permanent infertility and damage, a total ban on such treatments for anyone under 18 is necessary.
We must protect our children as they navigate this challenging period in their lives.
I stand with Billboard Chris and commend his dedication to ending this abuse of our children.
Above all, free speech and the right to peaceful protest must be safeguarded at all costs.

Thank you Senator Roberts for standing with billboard Chris. My God, he is a brave man, and I totally support his cause. As for the e commissioner- shame- you have besmirched Brisbane’s laid back free speech friendly city. E commissioner is not the right person for the job- we are not communists- we are a christian country. Thank you Malcolm for all you do . Power has gone to e commissioners head.
Good on you. Both you and Billboard Chris are to be commended. Common sense displayed in a senseless world.
Such an important & urgent issue!!! So thankful that people like Billboard Chris, yourself and an increasing number of people are making a stand to protect vulnerable children from permanent harm.
