00:00This has been a harrowing and traumatising ordeal
00:04and I'm incredibly relieved that it is over
00:07and that justice has been achieved from my child
00:10and the other young people affected by this government ban on gender-affirming care.
00:15I don't know any Queenslander who would want decisions about their child's medical care
00:20being made by politicians
00:22or by doctors operating outside their area of medical expertise.
00:28It's patronising them to suggest that I and countless other Queensland parents
00:34are unable to look after our children's medical interests.
00:38How can strangers in government possibly claim to know better than the parents who love their children
00:43and the highly trained health professionals who care for them with expertise and compassion?
00:50The Premier says he wants to keep kids safe.
00:54There is nothing safe about denying a child their right to expert medical care
01:00or telling parents they don't know what's best for their children.
01:04If the Premier cares about the safety of young people,
01:08he should ensure that his government adequately funds the Gender Clinic
01:11in accordance with the recommendations made by the Independent Review last year
01:16and stop using our kids as political footballs.
01:20and stop using our kids as political footballs.
01:21Please, please, please, please, please.
01:34For an example of the UK you've heard recently of the UK you've heard from the University of QT.
