ECO’s open government survey open to 26 July

What do you think is important about OPEN GOVERNMENT? ECO invites you to participate in a survey of people and organisations from civil society on what we want the government actions should be in the NZ Open Government Action Plan 2016-18. Please feel free to circulate the survey widely. The survey provides an option to […]

@matroked @NewshubNZ Conduct unbecoming from @NewshubNZ and Tova O'Brien. It was after all the public servants who let down their Minister and @NZNationalParty who had the inside story to leak.

@greenjaneNZ @golrizghahraman Having said all that I do think there is room for accommodation, compromise and debate (although too late for NZ's law). I've been meeting with & putting out feelers to people but many are terrified of the blow back.

@greenjaneNZ @golrizghahraman Of which the undebated & anti-democratic NZ BDRRM Bill is just one example. So I have full empathy (& quite some personal familiarity & understanding) of people with dysphoria. But my political priorities are the rights of lesbians, natal women and they also extend to gay men.

@greenjaneNZ @golrizghahraman Or the explicit & covert work to replace sex with gender & give preference to trans over gay people in international & national law through the Jogjakarta principles and other related initiatives. tandfonline.com/doi/…

@greenjaneNZ @golrizghahraman Or this well funded UK survey & research project. The survey is impossible to answer as a woman or man. It only makes "sense" to people who believe that sex is malleable & gender exists. futureoflegalgender.… It is flawed "research" where only one conclusion is possible.

@golrizghahraman You are an MP. You have accused a specific, named young woman of causing hate & violence. That I imagine is at least technically a defamation. You are also flat out saying that by not believing men can become women a person is hateful. Nothing to see here?

The defamatory comments directed at Gender Critical commentators by Jan Logie, @golrizghahraman Louisa Wall & others is a new & deeply worrying trend in politics. They are saying that freedom of belief no longer applies to some people. #endofpluralism

The review of government algorithms is an area of particular interest and there is a chance for civil society representation in that review. You can contact @ogpnz to request to be kept up to date with this or any of the goals.

A few days ago the third Open Government Partnership Action Plan was launched. Its been pretty well consulted on & has some pretty decent goals. :-) ogp.org.nz/new-zeala… @ogpnz
