I second the amendment. Whatever about any of us being present in two years' time, let us hope Senator van Turnhout is in one of the Houses to speak on behalf of young transgender people. The amendment is an innovation coming back to the Government based on the same principles as the Senator's earlier amendments and very much grounded in research, practical experience and the circumstances of her own education. She is trying to offer another way. It includes the definition of a child and for these reasons I absolutely and fully support it.
