South Australia has officially passed legislation in Parliament that bans harmful conversion practices, following in the steps of Victoria, ACT and NSW. The bill, passed with 13 votes to 8 on Tuesday night, has been welcomed by survivors and advocacy organisations, who emphasise that it will save lives. Conversion practices, which seek to change or suppress a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity, have long been condemned as abusive, leading to significant mental and physical harm.
