Hon Dr AYESHA VERRALL (Associate Minister of Health): Thank you, Madam Speaker. It is with great pride that I rise to take this call on this Government bill to ban conversion therapy—35 years since Fran Wilde's Homosexual Law Reform Bill passed in 1986; 17 years since the Labour Government supported the Civil Union Bill into law in 2004; eight years since my colleague Louisa Wall's marriage equality amendment bill passed in 2013; and today this bill, which began its life as a member's bill, Marja Lubeck's bill, is here as a Government bill because this Labour Government is committed to creating a more inclusive and accepting New Zealand and being the best place in the world to be a child.
