The High Court has just made a ruling to overturn the government’s decision to ban the use of puberty blocker chemicals in children - the judge declared the regulations unlawful and invalid and set them aside. We will demand that this decision be immediately appealed by the Minister of Health. Our country needs to come to our senses and base these critical health decisions on evidence. Not on process. Puberty blockers are banned indefinitely in the UK and the Nordic countries for anyone under 18. This ruling makes New Zealand sit in stark contrast to that. NZFirst was the only party who campaigned on the banning of puberty blockers in kids and the only party who fought hard to ensure the government brought this ban in. We will continue that fight to ensure commonsense and normality wins.
