Has the Suicide Prevention Strategy been side-lined?

Warning: This article is about suicide and may be distressing to some readers. There has been much negative coverage of the proposed NZ Suicide Prevention Strategy since Mike King left the suicide advisory group a few months ago saying that it was “a master class in butt covering”. We have recently heard that the government […]

@AnneliseJoy @radionz a) its a news website - publicly funded addressing an issue about a bill that has been withdrawn b) to the right of the article there are more stories written from an uncritical pro trans view c) You are claiming fear,ignorance & hate? I don't see that. What are you seeing?

@felidaebay @radionz Hi Bay, TERF, as you well know is a slur used to try to incite violence & discrimination against feminists who are critical of transgender ideology. Please don't use it. If you do you are trying to normalise slur. #terfisaslur terfisaslur.com

@felidaebay @radionz I think you are mistaken with all of this. I don't think either accusation is true. Neither is your assertion of pre-colonisation transgenderism. Do you have proof? Otherwise you are defaming a group of women - telling lies to discredit them.

So this is @radionz's grudging attempt to cover the issue from a feminist POV. Nothing about the speakers? What about the evidence presented? What about explaining gender critical? Or perhaps not using it. Its great to have balance but what about linking to the SUFW website? twitter.com/radionz/…

@RedcapRage @JCE_PC Why are you calling me a bigot and a transphobe - a stupid term - when you have no evidence of either? Perhaps your lack of actual arguments means shouting insults is the best you can do?

@RedcapRage @JCE_PC What makes you say that? Perhaps you need to read about Karen White or the Canadian person who took 16 beauticians to court; or the 6 assaults by transgender people on women in prison over 2 years or discover female suffrage is not celebrated for women anymore.

@JCE_PC I've spent four months working on this campaign to see a proper democratic process & consultation. TBH I'd far rather be working on many other issues. It's pretty galling to be accused of this regularly & without evidence. I think you are being very 1-eyed about women's concerns

@scoutriver She means consultation on material new issues added to an otherwise administrative bill. There was none. Nothing signalled these changes - no public announcement, no press release, nothing on the parliamentary website.
