Legislative Council Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Personal Explanation Personal Explanation Gender Dysphoria Gender Dysphoria The Hon. F. PANGALLO Legislative Council The Hon. F. PANGALLO (15:23): I seek leave to make a personal explanation in response to comments made in the chamber yesterday by the Hon. Tammy Franks. Leave granted. The Hon. F. PANGALLO Legislative Council The Hon. F. PANGALLO: While I was asking a question about a report, which I tabled and which revealed evidence of malpractice and violation of medical ethics within the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), I stated that the Labor government had voted not to support my proposed inquiry into gender dysphoria. The Hon. Tammy Franks interjected in a point of order, accusing me of misleading the chamber—in other words, the parliament—and that there was no vote on that inquiry. Obviously, she meant in this chamber. As all members knew, I had already withdrawn the vote on my motion in this chamber because, as I correctly said in my question, the Labor government had voted not to support it in caucus. I never said the parliament or the chamber had voted, just to be clear. Not only did caucus vote not to support it or put it to a conscience vote but the Premier himself made public statements to that effect. To wrongfully accuse me of misleading the chamber is a serious slur when the member should have and would have known the context of my comments had she shown me the courtesy to complete my question. What I said was not false or misleading but factual. I would ask the member to retract those comments that I misled the chamber and apologise.
