Luckily, New Zealand’s new coalition government won’t be re-appointing the present Chief Science Advisor, Juliet Gerrard, who believes that sex isn’t binary, for another three years in the role, as she won’t be seeking another term. Unfortunately, though, it's likely she'll stay in the science field. There’s no replacement for her announced as of yet, but with ex-Human Rights Commissioner, Paul Hunt,
And as to the gender woo crap that the Marsden Fund supports, well words fail me actually. There are many areas of research that would benefit the 51% of the population who are women (even the ones that pretend they are something else), but no, they fund the tiny minority of those who have untreated mental health challenges in a way that doesn't even help them to overcome their delusional thinking.
Another highly paid craven "science" advisor willing to sell out actual science for the approval of the church of gender. Let's hope she is not reappointed and NZ gets a Chief Science Advisor with integrity and some commitment to science. Thank you for your persistence Katrina!
Abolish the role, we don't need it. The guy previous (Peter Gluckman) was just as bad, maybe not on gender but he's not uninvolved with gender either. And the methamphetamine house cleaning scam happened on his watch (even if he belatedly and weakly critiqued it after resigning).
Don't think I'll quickly forget the Listener 7 & the brief email exchange I had with Wiles over it, that led me to conclude she was convinced of her moral mission & rightness & totally unconcerned that others found fault. I concluded other things too that I won't mention here. Some say the tide is turning on all the nonsense but I'm unconvinced yet.
It's amazing how people like wiles and Gerrard claim to love science.....yet a central fundament of science is critique and debate.
Yet they don't like criticism and they refuse to engage in debate.
It's as if they believe science is remembering a lot of facts and measuring things and that what ever conclusions drawn from that are perfectly formed and correct the moment they speak them.
Science is in a very bad way. The institutions are completely corrupted by politics and much of the work coming from scientists is, frankly, a complete load of arse.
One only needs to look at the complete debacle around covid, the ridiculous modelling, the ineffective lockdowns, the pointless medical looking masks and the dodgy vaccines all supported through and through by clowns like those two.
Looks like 38 emails is the Gerrard blocking threshold aye?
What sort of "science" does the Chief Science Advisor go in for if she is tweeting her ignorance out to the world on X? Here in only 30 minutes is a more than adequate explanation of why (and how) mammalian sex is binary: https://www.realityslaststand.com/p/the-sex-binary-what-it-is-and-why?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=1kuagj

Faith based beliefs have no place that justifies them obtaining funding by false pretences. https://lucyleader.substack.com/p/alternative-facts-cannot-create-an

Great and dogged work, Katrina. I wouldn’t want to be your opponent!

Very enlightening cheers
Thanks for the insights, Katrina.
