Queensland's Opposition has slammed the Commonwealth Games guidebook after finding it included instructions to avoid gender-specific terms.
Copies of the handbook, entitled Game Shapers, were issued to 15,000 volunteers, staff and contractors for the 2018 Games in the Gold Coast.
Instructions encourage gender-neutral terms such as "parents" rather than "mother" or "father", and "partner" rather than "wives" or "boyfriends".
Shadow Minister for the Commonwealth Games John-Paul Landbroek reportedly told News Corp Australia the list of instructions was "political correctness gone insane" and would cause unnecessary tensions for volunteers.
