So I have to say that today I am hugely disappointed with the National Party for not supporting this bill even through to a select committee process where we can iron out any issues that they face. If we cannot be united as a Parliament to at least debate these issues and work through them for the betterment of our rainbow communities, we must question why we are here. Your decision today only creates division, and when division is created it puts our most marginalised people at the centre, and the backlash will take place again. By not supporting this bill, even to its first reading, it is a support to continue the practice of conversion therapy as status quo, and it is shameful.
