WTF? Appalling news! 😠
NZ Govt is taking homicidal steps to deny young trans and nonbinary people from receiving medical care! Direct abuse of #NZBoRA and Medical Ethics! Doctors should decide if patients need puberty blockers not MPs! ⚕️

What the Ombudsman can help with

You can write to NZ Ombudsman, after writing to MSD CEO. Usual complaints process is agency 1st then to those with power to investigate. Also tag in @nzccl.org.nz for info on breach of civil rights / #NZBORA re Food as essential

Understanding the Waitangi Tribunal’s report on the Treaty Principles Bill Act's bid to redefine the Treaty principles 'would have enormous constitutional implications'.

Answers to your questions are probably in thousands of written submissions, or hundreds of oral submissions, or maybe in the summaries of some of the presentations.

Not an expert but IMHO #TreatyPrinciples Bill almost certainly isn't #NZBORA compliant.

Thread worth reading on #NZpolice and sockpuppet IPCA wanting more powers to control or criminalize ordinary NZers participating in #democracy thru peaceful protest. It's not illegal and it shouldn't be. Assaults as by Tamaki's followers are crimes. Free assembly isn't. #NZpol #NZBORA @nzccl.org.nz
