I joined the Justice Committee for a number of evidence sessions on the bill. There were almost 107,000 submissions on this legislation, close to 40,000 of which included original content. Eighteen separate oral hearings were held by many of us—days and days of listening to the people of Aotearoa. But I was impressed by the efforts that submitters in favour of the bill made to clearly set out the case for banning conversion practices—in particular, young New Zealanders, our rangatahi, who have a much more enlightened attitude to sexuality and gender identity and expression. They know who they are. They support one another to live authentically, as this legislation sets out to ensure, and this evening, I want to say to them that I hear you.
