Great news. Let's hope we see similar legal action in Australia against the shameless doctors who have been running our own clinics promoting this dangerous treatment of vulnerable young children.

These cases are unlikely to be easy.

I suspect that the RCH gender clinic will have to very seriously reconsider what they’re doing!

Their track record to date is to rely on corporate boilerplate responses, Vincent. In a properly functioning state government, the health minister would have ordered an independent review many months ago. But from Premier Andrews down, we get identity politics slogans as if these are a substitute for evidence, prudence & safeguarding.

your dedication toward ending this ghastly experiment is most commendable Bernard.

Let us hope that it is soon to be dishonoured domestically and globally.
