Pauline Hanson has called for an inquiry into the gender reassignment treatment of Australian children and rallied against gender identity ideology being taught in schools.

The One Nation leader demanded authority figures 'leave the children alone' in a fiery address to Parliament last week.

'Keep your LGBTIQ to yourselves behind your own bloody closed doors. Leave the children alone!', Senator Hanson said, describing it as 'gender madness'.

She added: 'This is to do in their own homes, not for you to be pushing your own agenda on innocent children's minds on what they should be or whether you're a girl or a boy: I've never heard of anything so disgusting in all my life what is happening in our school systems now to our young innocent children.'

But Anna Brown, CEO of Equality Australia, described Senator Hanson's motion as 'one-sided and misleading', claiming the politicisation of trans and gender diverse chidlren's healthcare 'negatively impacts the health and wellbeing of a population that is already under significant stress'.

Senator Hanson called for the Senate to investigate whether Australian kids were being rushed into gender reassignment treatment and whether doctors speaking out about it were being 'silenced'.

Dr Jillian Spencer, a senior staff psychiatrist at Queensland Children’s Hospital, was suspended from clinical duties in April following a patient's complaint, after she questioned the use of puberty blockers without an appropriate mental health assessment.

Senator Hanson also questioned whether 'Australia should follow the United Kingdom and many European countries in adopting a more cautious approach to the prescription of puberty blocking drugs, amid concerns the evidence base for their efficacy is lacking'.
