Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Family Matters - MP Jenny Marcroft on Standing Up for Reality
Q: Do you expect changes to the bill during committee hearings, and how will you respond to them?
Yes, changes are possible as the select committee reviews the bill; the process is designed to refine and improve the legislation, and the government's and opposition MPs' input will shape the final form.
Family Matters - MP Jenny Marcroft on Standing Up for Reality
Q: What can the public do to support this bill during the select committee stage?
People should submit their views through the Parliament website, with clear statements of support or opposition, and consider private submissions if they fear public exposure, while also encouraging their local MPs to engage.
Family Matters - MP Jenny Marcroft on Standing Up for Reality
Q: How does the ballot process for Members' Bills work and how did yours come to be drawn?
Each non-minister MP has a biscuit tin with their own piece of legislation; it is randomly drawn, and mine happened to be drawn again, after previously having one in an earlier term; this process occasionally advances real issues into Parliament.
Family Matters - MP Jenny Marcroft on Standing Up for Reality
Q: What led you to draft and submit this bill?
The idea emerged from concerns about safety and privacy in spaces like changing rooms and bathrooms, driven by reports from the community and a belief there is a lack of clarity in the current law, which the bill aims to fix.
McBlog - Exclusive Interview with Winston Peters
Q: How does the policy compare with international examples?
Peters argues that while other countries have similar devices, New Zealand's approach is domestic-focused and citizenship-based, contrasting it with Hungary and Poland and asserting that the policy is not about anti-immigration but about assisting New Zealand families.
