“Bligh’s destructive surrogacy laws equalled by her
evil arrogance” – Family First’s Francis
When Queensland Premier Anna Bligh called members of the parliament who spoke
out against new surrogacy laws “rednecks” she insulted every person who values the
family unit and the protection of children, according to Queensland senate candidate
for Family First Wendy Francis. “It was behaviour unfit for a Premier and she has
proved today that she doesn’t deserve to be Premier”
Francis has predicted another “Sorry Day” in around 20 years when the full effects of
the new laws are felt. “Anna Bligh has destroyed the lives of a future stolen
generation and has mocked those who are appalled and distressed at the passing of
these laws which can only be described as evil”, Francis claimed.
The new legislation allows single adults and homosexual couples to enter into a
surrogate agreement for a child. “The Premier thinks it’s ok for a child – who doesn’t
get a choice - to enter the world without ever having a legal mother or father, or
maybe having two legal fathers or two mothers”. Francis said. “Anna Bligh doesn’t
care because her own children won’t be affected as they enjoy a mother and father.
Yet she will have long left office when society has to deal with the horrific emotional
and psychological consequences of her immoral choice for many other children”,
Francis said.
Francis also accused the state opposition of being all talk and no action. “The
opposition should have been shouting this down for months but until the last few
days we’ve heard very little from them”, she said.
She has vowed to look at ways to overrule Queensland legislation if she is elected to
the federal senate at the next election. “Queensland needs a senator from Family
First because the fight to protect children has just begun”, she said
Wendy Francis is available for an interview.
