Frances Bedford, who was elected to the South Australian House of Assembly seat of Florey at the 1997 state election, becomes a leader of a fundamentalist group,  which are religious groups characterized by the advocacy of strict conformity to sacred texts, due to her lack of support to the Relationships Bill 2005.
Her support for the Relationships Bill 2005, a bill which extends legal protections to same-sex couples, has made her a target of fundamentalist groups.
