On Friday, 1 August 2025 during estimates hearings I asked the Minister for Health and Ambulance Services about whether the independent review of stage 1 and 2 hormone therapies in Queensland's public paediatrics gender services would be made public.
You can read my question and the Minister's response below, or in the official Parliamentary record of proceedings here.
Mr BERKMAN: [...] Minister, we have very limited time and this is a very short question. In relation to the independent review of stages 1 and 2 hormone therapies in Queensland’s public paediatrics gender services, the Vine review, can you guarantee whether the final report from the Vine review will be published in full?
Mr NICHOLLS: Professor Vine has a very wide remit to investigate this matter and to provide advice to the government. It is important to understand that Professor Vine and her committee and her fellow reviewers have, as I say, a very wide remit, including recommendations as to how her advice is treated. I have clearly and consistently said that the cabinet and the government will consider the advice by Professor Vine. I will be guided and will not pre-empt the decisions of cabinet in relation to how that advice is dealt with.
