Senator Pauline Hanson opened the second reading of her bill with a 14-minute speech on everything she saw as wrong with the education system.
She began by saying teachers were supposed to educate, not 'indoctrinate them with Marxism'
'They are not supposed to groom them into believing they can be a boy one day and a girl the next. They are not supposed to recruit them as warriors for climate change or social justice,' she declared.
Senator Hanson claimed the bill was necessary because the education system was 'thoroughly infiltrated by activists and disturbing concepts about race, climate and gender grounded in disproven neo-Marxist theories'.
Parents only discovered this, she claimed, when they were forced to homeschool their children during Covid lockdowns.
'They discovered their children were being told they were evil, racist oppressors just because they were white and that they should feel shame and remorse for it,' she said.
'They discovered their children were being groomed into believing they could choose their own gender at a whim, biology be damned. They found their children were being terrorised by climate change prophecies of doom.'
Senator Hanson then claimed schools were 'destroying our children's little minds' and compared being taught transgender issues to being groomed by a paedophile.
'We are opposed to paedophiles grooming children for what they want to do to our children. Why is this any different? Why is this not grooming our children at a very young age?' she said.
Senator Hanson said her eight-year-old grandson said he was 'totally confused' by a boy in his class wearing girls' clothing to school, and was told you culd choose to be male or female.
She demanded 'normal' Australians stop being told they had to change their lives for the 1,200 people who identified as transgender in the 2016 census.
'We sit here and listen to the claptrap that comes out of the Greens' mouths with all this bloody rubbish that they're pushing about gender fluidity and identity and LGBTIQ and 39-plus [genders] - I don't know how many there are,' she said.
'I can't believe how many sexual identities they want to impose on people, but, at the end of the day, we are male and we are female.'
Senator Hanson finished by telling parents to 'grow up' and take responsibility for what their children were taught.
'And, if you don't like what they're being taught, then go and visit the schools and the teachers and the principals and have your say,' she said.
