SHANAN HALBERT (Labour—Northcote): Thank you, Mr Speaker. As chair of Labour's rainbow caucus, tonight it is a great pleasure to speak on the third reading of the Conversion Practices Prohibition Legislation Bill to ban conversion therapy now. If I was to look back at the whakapapa of this particular piece of legislation, it fulfils a key manifesto commitment that we made to New Zealanders at the general election to ban conversion practices and protect our rainbow communities from the demonstrable harm too many are currently subjected to. This bill is an example of Government responding to grass roots activism. And I turn to our young people this evening, and I want to acknowledge you, Young Labour, Young Greens, and Young National, for working together on a petition to the last Parliament, asking us to act to stop these barbaric practices now.
