New South Wales has introduced new legislation that outlaws LGBTQ+ conversion therapy, with individuals found administering such practices facing up to five years in prison. This move comes alongside changes to teen bail laws, making it more challenging for young people to secure bail. The legislation has sparked a range of reactions, including distress from Labor over Minns' new bail laws, as expressed by Byrne. Additionally, the Australia Law Reform Commission has recommended the Albanese Government to amend the Sex Discrimination Act to offer better protection for LGBTQ+ students and staff at religious schools.
