There are a million children in Aotearoa, about 700 of them have been prescribed puberty blockers (that's 0.07%)
Medication decisions should be decided by the child, their caregivers, and the relevant health professionals, not a party relying on imported culture wars to stay in power

the way that nz media feels comfortable stalking and reporting on prominent women in this country is actually fucking disgusting
its both a reason AND a symptom of the way powerful people in NZ routinely escape consequences for abuse and misogyny. NZ media need a clean out

“New Zealand runs the risk of becoming a dumping ground for all of those risky goods that can't get into other markets where there are tighter regulations."
Why?
Because this government dropped legislation to prohibit goods produced using modern slavery.

We elect people who value numbers on a piece of paper over whether actual people eat or have a roof over their head or can get healthcare when they sick. We elect people who value numbers on a piece of a paper over children eating or being educated. I also note that the numbers are all fake.

I started my day by sending a clearly disappointed message to Casey Costello, Winston Peters and Simeon Brown. I want them to know they should be ashamed of themselves.

these fucking scum giving kids to death because of a culture war that has laid eggs in their brains. make them unwelcome in public life until they leave it.
Puberty blockers save young lives. This govt is literally admitting it's about anti-"woke" (their word) ideology. Which is why cis kids can still access them!
I'm begging you to take 3 min to write your MP, write to Labour MPs 🙏
Our dead kid rate is high enough tbh

I really, really can't stand this government.
The Government is banning new patients from being prescribed the most common form of puberty blocker and is explicitly aligning NZ's future policy on this matter to the UK's. PR below.

Puberty blockers are safe and proven - the THIRD PARAGRAPH acknowledges that children WILL still be prescribed them, just not if they're trans

Performative public apologies with no actual redress or behaviour change are shit at the best of times. When it's about crimes and harm of this magnitude, done to people this vulnerable, by a government so dedicated to committing the same harm and violence all over again ... there aren't words
Week in Review:
A year on from the PM's apology to those abused in state care, survivors say they are still waiting for proper redress, accountability and closure. Laura Walters reports.
