He was drunk when he arrived at Wellington’s main nightlife area, where he approached a group of teenagers and became aggressive when they didn’t want to engage with him, the judge said.A member of the group punched the man, who responded by spitting on a young woman. He was arrested by police officers who happened to be passing by.In a mobile phone video of the arrest, he was seen verbally abusing a police officer and claiming to have diplomatic immunity.He pleaded guilty to New Zealand’s lowest level of assault charge in January. It is punishable by up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $NZ4000 ($3700).But Mabey said he would discharge the man because of his wife’s suggestion that the Australian diplomatic service would be unable to ignore the husband’s conviction and the video when considering her future.“If I were not to suppress his name, his offending would be inextricably linked to his wife and she would suffer considerably,” the judge said.The independent review of the evidence and ethics behind the provision of puberty blockers and gender-affirming therapies in Queensland will not just listen to experts.LoadingQueensland Health director-general David Rosengren on Thursday invited members of the public to make submissions.“In addition to examining the medical evidence of using these therapies on children, it’s also important to understand the impacts from a social, psychological, legal and ethical perspective,” Rosengren said in a statement.“I encourage stakeholders who feel they can contribute constructively to this review to do so.“Rosengren said the review would “help inform future policy”.However, the terms of reference do not allow recommendations, meaning the policy will still be decided by the LNP government after the review is finalised later this year.
