Queensland reinstates puberty blocker ban hours after court overturns it

The court heard that health director-general Dr David Rosengren had consulted with executives of the state's hospitals and health services at 10am on 28 January, the same time that Nicholls held a press conference announcing the ban and a subsequent review. In a statement to parliament on Tuesday, just hours after the verdict, Nicholls issued a "written ministerial direction" to reinstate the ban until the review had been completed, saying the court ruling had focused on the improper process behind the ban's enactment, not whether it was appropriate. 'I am satisfied it is appropriate and in the public interest that I issue a written ministerial direction,' he said, according to The Guardian. The new directive's provisions are believed to match those announced in January.
