Happy hump day guys and gals! Today, we are bringing back one of our fave segments, In the Media, to give you an update on Victoria's new prohibition of conversion practices legislation.
We recommend you listen to our earlier ep, Criminalising Conversion Practices here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4XOPTadSnWLSPW9yyA6NAL?si=v1KhkU6XTzW4ZvNH4a-zAA, before you head into today's ep to make sure you have all the background you need.
Today, we offer a commentary on the legislation to be, take a look at those for and against (hint: we can guarantee you'll be surprised where some pretty big organisations fall) and offer you our little humble opinions on it all in the hope it'll inspire (?) you to start talking about this with your friends and fam. Happy podding!
