It was introduced by the Greens and supported by Labor, but Liberal MPs have been granted a conscience vote.

Greens leader Rosalie Woodruff is urging Upper House MPs to support the bill when it comes before them.

At the heart of this bill are those people who suffered the despair, the loneliness and shame, and the years of life lost from such conversion practices.

We recognise their trauma and the enormous courage of those who publicly shared their stories.

In this particular hearing, that wasn't covered.

One of the most interesting parts of this first half was questions that came from the leader of the Greens, Rosalie Woodruff.

That information vacuum is about who at the end will be investigating the matter that they've made a complaint about, particularly acute for police officers, but also for any member of the community.

They don't know who it will be, who's in professional standards and what the relationship that person may have with them, the person against whom they're making the complaint, the community in which they live, their workplace and all the other matters.

some new customers out of it though.

I saw Rosalie Woodruff pop by for a coffee yesterday.

I'm sure she'll be there all the time.

I think Danielle Wood in a column said she'd never been there before but she made the trip out and enjoyed the hot chocolate and the sourdough crumpets.
