Minority coalition partner New Zealand First introduced a bill to parliament on Tuesday that if enacted would define women and men by their biology, preventing trans women and men being recognised by law.

I wonder where they got the idea

No he didn't, he put a members bill in the biscuit tin, it hasn't been pulled out.

The populist New Zealand First member's bill is a longshot to become law as it has to be selected at random from a ballot and then garner majority support in parliament.

It is as usual performative; there is no substance and he knows that if it gets pulled out, it will fail at the first reading....this just to pander to the crazies.

This is all political theater, and it is typical Peters and NZF!
