Up to 500 children are reportedly covered by a class action lawsuit challenging the state of Queensland’s restrictions on puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones in the public health system.
The case, brought on behalf of a 12-year-old, is structured so that any child affected by the rules is automatically part of the lawsuit unless their family actively chooses to drop out. The suit seeks an apology and up to $50,000 compensation per child for alleged discrimination and distress.
Australia’s Family First has called on Premier David Crisafulli to recall Parliament and legislate to ban puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and gender transition surgery for minors, arguing the issue should be decided by elected MPs rather than through litigation.
