Of the 38,900 submissions that were unique submissions, 69 percent supported the bill. So we caught our breath and wrapped our heads around the historic numbers of submissions, we reorganised into subcommittees, and we sat in 18 hearings to receive those oral submissions. But what we couldn't have planned for was the volume of human experience that flooded into the room as we heard stories from people who had been subject to conversion therapy themselves; from friends who had supported their friends for years, from family members who'd done the same; and from a multitude of people who had been and continued to be discriminated against. While we immersed ourselves in the policy, what will remain the most vivid memory for me will be the people who Zoomed into those virtual rooms.
