Hon KRIS FAAFOI: The aim of the new law is to encourage open and respectful discussion around sexual orientation or gender identity. I acknowledge that some submitters during the select committee process and indeed some members of the House were concerned that the bill could prevent parents, health professionals, and religious groups from supporting individuals in exploring their sexuality or gender expression. I would also like to reiterate to the House again that a safe and respectful conversation is not captured in this bill.
