Foreman's Call for Focus on Policing
Family First Victorian candidate Jane Foreman has today called for Victoria Police to be banned from participating in political activism, including the promotion of radical LGBTIQA+ ideology. Her comments followed recent public messaging by Victoria Police in support of ‘Trans Day of Visibility.’ Foreman expressed concerns about the politicization of law enforcement, stating that ‘Victoria Police exists to uphold the law and protect the community, not to promote contested social ideologies.’
She argued that taxpayer-funded police resources should never be used to advocate for gender fluid ideology, particularly when this ideology underpins experimental and increasingly discredited medical interventions on children. Recent actions by the police have raised questions about their impartiality in the eyes of many Victorians.
According to Foreman, many parents in Victoria are deeply concerned about the impact of gender theory being normalised through trusted institutions. ‘Children are being exposed to confusing and harmful ideas about identity at a young age. Police should not be reinforcing this,’ she said, emphasizing that their focus should remain on community safety.
Legislative Actions Proposed
Family First candidates, including Foreman, plan to propose legislation at the upcoming November Victorian election. This proposed legislation aims to establish clear boundaries preventing police from engaging in political or ideological campaigns. Foreman emphasised that ‘Our police must be above politics. Victorians need confidence that law enforcement is impartial, focused on crime prevention, and not acting as a vehicle for activist causes.’
Foreman highlighted the necessity for Victorians to have confidence in their law enforcement agencies. Police should concentrate on crime prevention and not become vehicles for activist causes. ‘Family First will always stand for the protection of children, the rights of parents, and the integrity of our public institutions,’ she assured, emphasizing that public bodies like Victoria Police must focus on their primary duties of law enforcement and community protection.
Foreman also noted that Family First is committed to ensuring that police resources are used appropriately and remain focused on their intended purpose. The party’s stance is that law enforcement should not be involved in promoting any social ideologies, ensuring that all public institutions maintain their integrity and trustworthiness.
