Last week, the NZ Government ordered Sport NZ to scrap its guidelines introduced in 2022, which allowed and promoted biological males competing in women’s sport. Australia should do the same.
Family First is calling on the Albanese Government to follow New Zealand’s decision to scrap “woke” transgender guidelines that put girls and women at risk and undermine the fairness of female sport.
New Zealand’s Sport Minister, Mark Mitchell, has directed Sport NZ to remove its controversial 2022 transgender inclusion guidelines from its website and cease all work on gender policy in community sport.
The guidelines, which encouraged sporting bodies to allow males who identify as female to compete in women’s sport, have been rightly abandoned after public pressure and a courageous stand from New Zealand First leader Winston Peters.
Peters rightly stated: “The state has no place in people’s bedrooms – and biological males have no place in women’s sports.” Family First wholeheartedly agrees.
New Zealand Has Protected Women’s Sport – Why Not Australia?
It would be embarrassing and grossly unfair for Australia to be sending biological males to compete against women at the Olympic Games.
Enough is enough. Politicians from both Labor and Liberal parties can no longer ignore the harm the LGBTIQA+ political agenda is doing to fairness, safety and common sense.
New Zealand has done the right thing by standing up for girls and women. Why is Australia still silent?
In 2021, New Zealand made global headlines when male-born athlete Laurel Hubbard competed in the women’s Olympic weightlifting event. This decision rightly sparked international concern and raised fundamental questions about fairness and safety.
Now, New Zealand has turned the page. Australia must do the same.
Family First calls on Sport Minister Anika Wells and Shadow Sport Minister Anne Ruston to immediately restore integrity to women’s competitions.
Women and girls deserve their own sporting categories — based on biological sex — not the dictates of radical gender ideology.
The LGBTIQA+ political agenda has gone too far. It is time for Australia to stop sacrificing women’s rights at the altar of identity politics.

Most Australians know Jacinta Price. Fewer know her husband, Colin Lillie — a man who went from falling out with God to crediting him with saving his life. In an interview with The Daily Declaration, Lillie opens up about his journey through addiction and recovery, and why he’s speaking out now on cancel culture, truth, and what real forgiveness looks like.
The Kairos II document accuses Israel of genocide, ethnic cleansing, settler colonialism, and apartheid. Its theological framing, historical claims, and political assertions raise serious concerns for Christians committed to biblical fidelity, historical accuracy, and the rejection of antisemitism.
ABC chairman Kim Williams denied any left-wing bias at the taxpayer-funded broadcaster just days before it aired a segment describing violent, sexualised harm against conservative billionaire Gina Rinehart.
Adelaide University energy expert Daniel Rossetto has said that ensuring renewables were reliable was expensive. But there was a solution: learn to love power outages.
Across Australia and the rest of the Western world, Christians are increasingly finding themselves treated as unwelcome. Some face rejection, professional consequences, and growing social hostility for holding to traditional Christian convictions. How should Christians respond?
A newly compiled public record shows four ownership groups took 53 percent of a $74 million taxpayer-funded subsidy grant now helping pay mainstream journalist wages.
When the New York Times critiques the ARC Conference for 'white Christian nationalism' but barely references anything from the conference, it's clear critics are concerned about its influence — just not enough to bother meaningfully listening to anything said during the presentations.
