Rt Hon Winston Peters sets the record straight.
The NZ First-led coalition agreement made it a policy to potentially withhold public funding from New Zealand sports bodies if they do not comply with a requirement to separate transgender athletes from grassroots competitions (I.e. preventing biological men from competing against girls and women in grassroots sports). According to the NZ Herald this morning, the coalition government has backtracked on this and will just ‘watch’ the issue. But have they? We talk to Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters, leader of NZ First. We also touch on puberty blockers for children, and the RSE guidelines in schools.
