The Government's intention in this bill—which I support wholeheartedly—in prohibiting conversion practices are, one, to affirm the dignity of all people and say that no sexual orientation or gender identity is broken and in need of fixing; two, to prevent the harm conversion practices cause in New Zealand and to provide an avenue for redress; and, three, to uphold the human rights of all New Zealanders, including rainbow New Zealanders, to live free from discrimination and from harm. This bill will provide penalties to those who continue to use conversion practices and provide survivors with avenues for redress.
