Parliament of Tasmania

Each bill, each state picks up a version of the previous bill and seems to build on the amount of evil that's contained in it.

And so what we're seeing now is a Greens introduced bill into the Tasmanian Parliament.

It's very distressing because it's gone way beyond conversion practices.

This is a bill that that really ties the hands of parents, particularly spiritual leaders.

Either not an awareness of that or a shame that that was the case.

Because only 59 days earlier, before this day, on July the 10th, 1936, the Tasmanian Parliament had passed legislation declaring the Tasmanian tiger an endangered species, prohibiting their killing.

They knew there was an issue, but they just realised too late.

Yeah, this last one was illegally captured by a trapper named Elias Churchill in May of 1936 and was secretly sold to the now closed Beaumaris Zoo in Hobart, where she died of exposure just a few months later on the day that we're talking about.
