When I was at university a long time ago, we
studied a play that featured sexual abuse of a girl; several women from my course had coffee afterwards, and myself and one other were shocked to hear that we were the only women in a group of eight who had not been sexually abused as young girls. So many women live with the scars of sexual abuse, and that's why womens' spaces cannot be invaded by biological men. Take note Auckland Art Gallery. Support the Gender Definition bill.

@aniobrien @freedomgirlnz ‘Wrong kinda Maori’. So you’re only Maori if you have a victim mentality and fight opposing views with bullying?

@aniobrien @freedomgirlnz NZFirst represent more Maori people than TPM. They actually understand what self-determination means

@kaiviti_cam The mainstream media are an absolute disgrace in this country.

@KajensAngel Intelligence debates. Morons use violence.

@Suitandtie9999 If you just want be an activist, stick to activism you childish woman. Politics are about responsibility for the country as a whole. Your Greta Thunberg act has no place in our parliament.

My submission to the Select Committe - 6 days left! Have your say!

I strongly support this bill.

My name is Elliot Ikilei. I’m a father of a 14-year-old daughter and a 9-year-old son, a New Zealander of Māori, Tongan, Niuean and English descent, and someone who has spent years on the frontline working with young people.

I’m standing as a New Zealand First candidate because I believe in common sense, one law for all, and putting New Zealanders first. This bill is a clear example of exactly that.

This bill simply restores biological reality to our legislation. It defines “woman” as an adult human biological female and “man” as an adult human biological male, with the same clear definitions for female and male. That’s what the words have always meant.

It is the truth that every generation before us understood without needing a debate.

We need this because activist-driven changes have created confusion and unfairness in sports, prisons, changing rooms, and single-sex spaces. We as a people fought long and hard for sex-based rights. Those rights only make sense when the law knows what a woman actually is. My daughter deserves laws that recognise her as a biological female, not laws that pretend feelings can override biology.

This bill gives that clarity and protects those hard-won rights across all legislation.

I’ve spoken about this issue many times. I’ve seen the damage this ideology does — especially to young people in our schools and to vulnerable kids who get caught up in confusion. Defining terms properly in law is a necessary line in the sand. It tells the truth instead of letting feelings rewrite reality for everyone else.

Here is the bottom line for every MP:

Any Member of Parliament who votes against this bill has no credibility left on women’s rights, child protection, or basic truth-telling. You cannot claim to stand up for women while refusing to define what a woman is in biological reality.

You cannot say you care about fairness and safety for girls while letting ideology override science in our laws.

New Zealanders are watching.

Opposing this bill informs us you’re more worried about appeasing a tiny, extremist, vocal minority than protecting the majority — including our daughters, sisters, mothers and wives.

This is common sense legislation. It’s short, clear, and does exactly what it says it will do. It brings legal certainty and pushes back against the ideological creep that has no place in our statutes.

I urge the Committee to recommend that Parliament passes this bill unchanged. No weakening, no compromises with ideology. New Zealand needs this.

Thank you for the opportunity to make this submission.

Many left of centre people are calling Opportunities Party a centre-right stalking horse to attract teal voters.
They are trying to sound smart, but are clearly retarded.
The GM of the party is Iain Lees-Galloway a former Labour minister, who shares a business with Hipkins' fiance, Toni Grace. One of their candidates, Kayla Kingdon-Bebb, is a co-author of the He Puapua report that Labour tried to keep secret.
You are warned. https://t.co/xwWShQ7kTk

@bangonomics @freedomgirlnz Well developed critical thinking skills are vital in NZ, because are media are so low brow

[Not a Looney Toon @CSomervilleR]

@freedomgirlnz Yep. Wankers is the word for this election

[FreedomGirlNZ @freedomgirlnz]

I said this to my husband a few months ago. The Māori party are in trouble and the media need another horse in the race.

Anyone remember TVNZ giving this sort of air time to the Leighton Baker Part or New Conservatives?

No they excluded them from the debates in favour of the Maori Party because they knew Leighton Baker was exactly the sort of politician New Zealanders would warm to.

The media are manipulating the outcome of the election before we have even voted. IMO
