Open Letter to David Parker on the TPPA-11 negotiation

Kia ora David, Congratulations on your new Ministerial roles and for taking a decisive approach to protecting housing from overseas speculators in case the TPPA-11 comes into effect. I would like to raise with you some of my concerns that the current approach to the TPPA does not adequately reflect the direction outlined in Labour’s […]

Public Good – Te Iwi Whānui Invitation to Education and Political Literacy in New Zealand - eepurl.com/gkvnkj

@AnneliseJoy @radionz a) its a news website - publicly funded addressing an issue about a bill that has been withdrawn b) to the right of the article there are more stories written from an uncritical pro trans view c) You are claiming fear,ignorance & hate?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?

From PublicGood-ANZ's Twitter

@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

From PublicGood-ANZ's Twitter

@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.

From PublicGood-ANZ's Twitter

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/…
