Tasmania's proposed ban on conversion practices explained

Key points

• Tasmania's parliament is set to debate a Greens bill that would ban conversion practices, which aim to change, suppress or eradicate a person's sexual or gender identity. Labor supports the bill, and Liberal MPs have been given a conscience vote.
• The bill would make intentional conversion practices that cause injury an offence, with the anti-discrimination commissioner overseeing reports.
• Tasmania is among the last jurisdictions where the practices remain legal, and the bill needs 18 votes to pass the lower house.
