Let us be quite clear: conversion therapy is an evil practice, driven by prejudice, not fact or science. Those who are undergo it are always damaged, sometimes fatally. Depression, self-harm, and ultimately, suicide, are common outcomes. This is especially so when the participants “willingly” subject themselves to this fraudulent ‘treatment’. This is not free and willing participation. This is not “religious freedom”. Victims are driven by religious guilt, induced and stoked by the religious communities who promote, support and practice it. No doubt many committed Chinese communists went to re-education camps to learn how to correct their errors of Mao Ze Dong Thought “willingly”, desperate to regain the approval of their comrades and political masters, in exactly the same fashion. https://thestirrer.com.au/fight-not-flannel/

Where's the I ???? "Not unlike the victims of LGBT conversion therapy, intersex individuals living with the results of nonconsensual genital interventions often deal with the harmful emotional and physical consequences of medically unnecessary attempts at 'treatment' for the rest of their lives." - https://www.ebar.com/news/news//271738

Victoria really is the Progressive State isn’t it.
Like’em or loathe’em the ALP really does, on Social Issues, work for the benefit of the People.
Once upon a time South Australia was at the forefront of Social Reform but today is at the far right back of the pack. The Liberal Govt there will do nothing.
Strangely, but thoroughly understandably, the ALP government of Queensland also does nothing because they are too scared of the majority Ultra-right leanings of so many in Qld – including those living in Qld’s Gay Mecca: Noosa.
We can’t expect the Coalition Government in Canberra to make this Gay Conversion Therapy sadism a national Issue. The Morrison Government, aided and abetted by the ALP’s Bill Shorten, is under the control of the Churches and it is they who are practicing this sadistic quack treatment.
