Drag Race star Courtney Act slams senator who accused her of “grooming” children
Drag Race star Courtney Act has slammed Liberal senator Alex Antic for accusing her of grooming children. On 7 November, Antic accused ABC’s Play School and the former The Bi Life host of the heinous act after the latter read a story about dressing up. “Why is the ABC grooming children with this sort of adult content?” the Liberal political official said during a Senate meeting.
Antic’s outlandish claim was immediately refuted by Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young who described his statement as “deeply, deeply offensive.” (per The Guardian). “Grooming is a really serious matter.
It is not for being played with by conservative senators to make headlines,” she added. ABC’s managing director David Anderson echoed similar sentiments at the time, stating: “We are not grooming Australian children.
What were are doing, that is about dress up.” Anderson and Hanson-Young weren’t the only individuals to slam Antic’s accusations.
