Conversion therapy practictioners refuse to stop

From Morning Report, 8:35 am on 27 June 2022

An advocate for the Rainbow community is dismayed knowing illegal conversion therapy practices are still being offered in New Zealand.

The practice was banned in February but one man in Nelson - David Riddell - is refusing to end his services.

Mr Riddell told RNZ it would be "irresponsible" to not take on clients.

Auckland Pride director Max Tweedie spoke to Morning Report.
