We all know there are different ways to convey things. We did it again - talking about the right to privacy of the parent and never referencing the right to privacy of adopted people as well. That is what we heard more in the committee - there were more adopted people who wanted to exercise their right to privacy than parents whose children were forcibly removed from their care. I am just saying the narrative is unnecessary. The Minister saying he is trying to protect the privacy rights of the parents. What about the privacy rights of adopted people? Why does he never discuss them? It is framing a false narrative all the time and it is worth noting that.
