A great summary but don’t forget about the huge win in having gender ideology purged from the Relationships and Sexuality Education curriculum. Public submissions on this change are open until April.

Thanks, Fern. I admit that I missed that, as it wasn’t something I wrote about on my blog. I’ve now added a short paragraph about it, and linked to RGE’s blogpost.

Great and very useful summary of the Kiwi Year of Terfery, Katrina.

I think I covered most of that in 2025!!!!!!!

Have cross posted.

Thanks, Dusty. I think you're right in that you've cross-posted most of it, so thank you very much for that.

A brilliant overview Katrina

You have nailed it !

The craziness, the harm and some light shining through.

Thank you for steadfastly raising a voice for sanity !

What a great round-up Katrina. Such a useful resource and also a reminder of how much we’ve achieved in a year. Honestly I was stunned. Thanks so much for doing this.

Katrina Biggs's avatar

Thanks, Yvonne - it’s easy to underestimate just how much we’ve all done in the last few years. It’s been enormous, especially considering the hostile environment we’ve had to do it in.

On ACC I think the 'injury' has to be reported within 12 months for ACC cover.

In which case, a person harmed from puberty blockers would either have to suck it up, or try litigation, once the harm became evident.

From overseas experience it seems that 5 years is the rien around time

As an ex-ACCer I'll check with a source...bit rusty, it was last C. As of today I don't think that's right...never used to be.

12 months for bog-standard injuries, of which medical misadventure is NOT. 'Complicated' claims for process injuries, sexual abuse, occupational disease clearly do not get assessed under this limit.

Di Landy's avatar

Its going to take years and many court cases before the govt admits GAC is medical misadventure

Hilary Taylor's avatar

Was always a tough 'ask'. The Med Mis test used to have to be outside the usual scope of error or accident in a clinical setting...rare & unusual in other words. This is treatment in the nature of 'best practice' of the time...bigger legal brains than mine would be brought to bear.

Thanks that would be great to have it confirmed or not.

Thanks Katrina, great info!

It's unbelievable that the watershed moment of NZ women getting the right to vote first in the world is not allowed to be acknowledged exactly where it should be! It is talked about regularly around the world depicting NZ as the forerunner it was and should definitely be remembered in every way possible! I will sign and so will my partner.

I signed the flag petition.

Great summation of the year Katrina

I appreciate this summary, thanks Katrina. It's easy for our progress to seem lost or diminished in the unrelenting trans-clapping.

What has been achieved in 2025, is the exposure of the harms to women and children of 'trans-monstering' reaching more of the 'too busy to bother'. The obvious fact is, that the vast majority of people who already knew trans was a nonsense, now see it as a harmful ideological movement, not just a ridiculous fad to be mocked.

I will make an effort to get more signatures for your petition.

Katrina Biggs's avatar

Cheers - much appreciated, Debbie.

I feel sorry for women in New Zealand . They’re definitely second or even third class citizens, maybe not even citizens!
