concerns raised by a state solicitor’s office about the risk of government exposure to litigation akin to the successful case brought against Britain’s Tavistock clinic by Keira Bell, a young woman who came to regret her treatment with puberty blockers, testosterone and mastectomy.

Right, so the concerns aren't about the children being harmed, but about the potential for those harmed children to later successfully sue the government. At least we know what motivates governments to do things now.

I mean, you have to speak in their language.

The fact that they are recognizing the Keira Bell case as a precedent, and implicitly acknowledging that the same concerns raised in her case exist in Australia is pretty significant.
