Basic biological reality is being denied, language is being manipulated, and women’s rights and protections are increasingly being undermined by radical gender ideology.
That is why New Zealand First introduced the Legislation (Definitions of Woman and Man) Amendment Bill.
This Bill would provide clarity and consistency in New Zealand law by ensuring the biological definitions of “woman” and “man” are clearly defined in legislation.
Because our laws should reflect reality,
not ideology.
The Bill would define:
These definitions would apply across New Zealand legislation unless explicitly stated otherwise.
This is about restoring legal certainty, protecting women and girls, and ensuring that words in law actually mean something.
New Zealand First was the only political party that campaigned on:
During the 2023 election campaign, other parties and much of the media mocked these concerns. But New Zealanders knew better.
Now, around the world, the pendulum is swinging back toward common sense as countries push back against the excesses of radical gender ideology.
New Zealand First listened when everyday Kiwis raised concerns about women’s rights, fairness, safety, and the erosion of biological reality in public policy.
This Bill is another example of New Zealand First standing up for what is right thing even when it is unpopular with activists, academics, and the woke political class.
For years, a vocal and influential minority has pushed dangerous ideology into schools, government departments, sport, healthcare, and public institutions.
Ordinary New Zealanders have been told to stay silent or risk being labelled hateful simply for acknowledging basic biology. Enough.
This Bill fights back against the cancerous social engineering that has crept through our institutions over recent years.
The fact legislation like this is even necessary shows just how far the deluded left has taken society. But New Zealand First is fighting back.
