Conversion practices simply have no place in our country, but we currently have no legislation that makes it an offence. Let's show the compassion and inclusiveness that are in line with New Zealand's values. This bill sends a clear message: we won't stand by and allow this behaviour to continue. It says: we love you, we accept you for who you are, and we will do everything in our power to protect you. I commend this bill to the House.
