"This morning a good friend of mine took her daughter along to a children’s storytelling event in Brisbane by two gorgeous Drag Queens, when a screaming group calling themselves the UQ young Libs stormed the event, causing chaos and distress to children and everybody there," she wrote. Loading "Our world is in need of love & healing, now more than ever. What they did today was add to the bigotry, division and trauma young children are left to face in today’s society. "Bless the two Queens who were there to bring joy to children and their families. What you share with our community is invaluable." The UQ Liberal National Club took to Facebook on Sunday to defend its protest and said they left when directed by security.

"We believe that the use of rate-payer money on hiring Drag Queens...is deeply inappropriate and does not align with the LNP values the Council should be promoting," it wrote. A spokesman for oppostion leader Deb Frecklington said the club does not represent the party's views and values. "Last year the party resolved to disendorse the UQ club and as such it is not affiliated in any way with the LNP," he said. Councillor Vicki Howard said the group "has no affiliation with the LNP and the actions of this small group of narrow-minded individuals is appalling". "The small group of people involved in this completely inappropriate display do not in any way represent how we as a Council and the LNP feels, and it will not and never will be tolerated," she said.

"This event was presented by experienced entertainers who both have Blue Card registration, which all entertainers are required to hold if they are working with children. "They were fully-trained entertainers who lead singing, dancing, reading and craft classes for children and their families." UQ union president Ethan Van Roo Douglas issued a statement on Sunday night to say he was "deeply disturbed by reports that union councillor Wilson Gavin - along with executives from the University of Queensland Liberal National Club - disrupted a public event at the Brisbane City Council Library". "While the union endorses freedom of expression and student activism, we strongly condemn aggressive behaviour that intimidates and causes distress to children and their families. "We also expect that all union office bearers publicly conduct themselves in a manner which does not reflect negatively on the students they represent or violate the responsibilities enshrined within the Union Constitution.

"The union takes these reports very seriously and will consider a further response at earliest opportunity." Lord mayor Adrian Schrinner and the Young LNP have been contacted for comment. The video comes after three Gold Coast Young LNP members were suspended over a racist schoolies video went viral in December. The video features then-Gold Coast Young LNP president Barclay McGain and vice-chair Patrick Riches in Surfers Paradise asking school-leavers "what matters to them and where the future of our great country is going". One of the questions was: "The Australian national anthem and the Australian national flag, what do you reckon? Is it something that you like? Keep it or ditch it?"
