The Victorian state government in Australia has made suppression of an LGBITQ+ individual a jailable offence in the state, after passing into law the Change or Suppression (Conversion) Practices Prohibition Act 2021 on Feb.17.
The new law(pdf), means that anyone who attempts to convert or suppress the sexual orientation or gender identity of Victorian LGBTIQ+ members can face up to 10 years in jail for a serious injury.
