We the undersigned residents, ratepayers and interested parties of Bendigo formally support Elise Chapman’s position as Councillor on the Bendigo City Council and insist that she does not resign or be removed from her position.
The issue
Elise Chapman and the undersigned all support the preservation of Australian values, Australia law and The Constitution above all other legal systems.
Islamic teachings and Sharia Law support and promote activities inconsistent with Western democratic values including:
- Child brides
- Polygamy
- Wife beating
- Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)
- Inequality of men and women
and preservation of basic human rights.
We therefore demand that Elise Chapman retain her position as Councillor and be afforded the right of freedom of speech under Australian law to address the Council and the wider Community on these issues.
