Queensland is the first state in Australia to put a pause on puberty blockers while doing a review into paediatric gender services. The usual suspects are outraged.

(Linking to News Ltd., because I can guess what the Guardian's, the ABC's and SBS's coverage is like.)

Also, the Queensland Government's own statement on their decision:

The Queensland reviews should all be finished within 10 months. There’s three in total happening. Two are specifically about Cairns/FNQ. This government has only been in power for 3 and a bit months. I think we elect them every 3 years. Might be 4. Anyway, they have at least 2.75 years to do stuff.

The federal review will take until mid next year to even issue interim advice. That government might be out of power within 3 months. I think the election has to be held by mid May this year and polls indicate that they’ll lose. Most likely their review won’t be completed, or will get a change in direction with a change in government.

I think I read that the Qld Health Minister essentially told the fed gov to mind their own business because the states administer the health system, not the federal government.
