The queer agenda: queer people can live safely as they identify. That’s it.
There’s no conspiracy, there’s no “gonna make y’all like us”.
It’s literally us wanting bodily autonomy and to be able to live safe nice lives. For Trans and Queer kids to become adults.
The Tim Jago story is now gone from the front pages of RNZ, Stuff & NZ Herald. As yet there has been no serious effort to question David Seymour. I think it's fair to call this an unprecedented level of protection by media outlets

A minimum wage worker under the Greens tax plan would have received $19 in tax cuts, free dental, and a GMI. Without deep cuts to our core services.
Under national they get $12.52 a week, have to pay for prescriptions, dental care, and twice as much for the bus. With deep cuts.
