Wendy Francis
Wendy Francis is an Australian political activist. She is a lobbyist on social issues and formerly the Queensland and Northern Territory state director of the Australian Christian Lobby (ACL). Wendy was the managing director of ACL and National Director for Politics until her recent retirement.
Wendy Francis was the Executive Producer of the Brisbane Lord Mayor's Christmas Carols for several years. She is married to Peter Francis, who is a Baptist pastor and Principal of Malyon College.
Francis' political interests before joining ACL in January 2011 included her running as the lead Senate candidate in Queensland for the Family First Party in the 2010 Federal election. She created controversy when she compared allowing same-sex marriage to the stolen generations and to "legalising child abuse".
Chad St James, the Brisbane editor of SameSame, said of Wendy Francis:
"Over a couple of hours sitting in a cafe, the two of us chatted and for the very first time I saw very human side to a woman who has been one of our most stringent opponents to marriage equality. I also gained a better understanding of her motivations, and I won’t deny that it was one of the most surprising coffee dates I have had a long time".
Francis shared a personal story on Brisbane radio on the impact of her sister's death.
Since 2007, Francis has run 'meet the candidate forums' for ACL in 15 to 20 Queensland electorates in each election.
On 8 August 2010 Francis tweeted "Children in homosexual relationships are subject to emotional abuse. Legitimising gay marriage is like legalising child abuse." Francis later deleted the tweet but stood by her comments.
