Revealing the Royal Commission on Social Policy

The Royal Commission on Social Policy (1986-88) was an initiative of the Fourth Labour government. The Royal Commission was in some ways an attempt to  counter the measures the Government were taking to cut and privatise public services, remove worker protection and subsidies, and to demonstrate that there was good social policy and humane economic […]

@AnneliseJoy @radionz a) its a news website - publicly funded addressing an issue about a bill that has been withdrawn b) to the right of the article there are more stories written from an uncritical pro trans view c) You are claiming fear,ignorance & hate?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