Well done, and keep the pressure on: eventually the cowards & misogynists (but I repeat myself) will cave, every single one of them, as the thing they hate most is being stood up to.

Include “staff recollections” in scope and ask for list of meetings where its been discussed.

Yes, but why has the Minister responsible for this portfolio asked them where their updated policy is. Obviously the minister doesn’t care, or is not doing their job properly either. Surely these policy changes are tracked, I’m sure others are tracked just not this one and no surprise there at all!!

Handmaids, genderists and parents of “trans kids” in the ranks probably. Look up the staff on their website and linked in & check for pronouns & check their social media etc. OIA them for drafts and copies of advice to the Minister and names of any person or org they’re consulting. Ask direct questions too. Then OIA them for copies of emails and communications related to preparing the OIA response. If they won’t spit anything out, complain to the Ombudsman.

Off the top of my head very quickly, I'd choose these three oldies -

1) Bad Moon Rising - by Credence Clearwater Revival

2) Thorn in my Side - by The Eurythmics

3) The Ballad of Lucy Jordan - by Marianne Faithful

The name Raelene Castle sums it up. She must be the most useless sports administrator ever to draw breath. Everything she has touched turned to shit.

Appointed by Labour no doubt.

An excellent letter and overview of this vital NZ TERF activism. I reckon it would work well for Part 2 of the anthology on the activist aftermath of Albert Park. Would they be keen do you think?
