29286 (2023). Hon Peeni Henare to the Minister for Sport and Recreation: Does the Minister agree with Winston Peters’ comments on pulling funding from public sporting bodies who include trangender athletics that, “they wanted fairness when it comes to people on the sports field. It's not anti-anybody. It's for fairness,” and what action is his government doing to ensure inclusion of all athletics?
Hon Chris Bishop: The Government is focussed on keeping everybody active, which is in line with work that Sport NZ has underway through their ‘Every Body Active’ by 2032 Strategy.
