Back in 2020, two new guidelines were introduced to support schools in teaching Relationships and Sexuality Education. The guidelines were introduced by the then Associate Education Minister and New Zealand First MP, Tracey Martin, after reports from the Education Review Office showed inconsistencies in how schools taught this subject - alongside significant gaps. The new guidelines brought greater emphasis to sexuality and gender diversity, Māori and Pacific views of sexuality, the use of digital technologies, and information about relationships and sexuality education for disabled learners.
However, the current government scrapped these guidelines as part of a coalition agreement with New Zealand First, who campaigned on removing the guidelines, which they called ‘woke gender ideology.’
The new proposed guidelines for relationships and sex education are significantly different to those introduced back in 2020.

The government’s planned expansion of police powers to allow them to charge people for sleeping in public and begging has generated a lot of community criticism accusing the government of targeting homeless people who they are not offering alternatives to rough sleeping.
To protest these moves and show support for our street whanau Community groups across Aotearoa are organising a national day of action this Sunday to protest against the move-on orders proposed by the government.
To discuss the move-on orders and the day of action, Host Manny spoke to co-founder of Sunday Blessings Danielle LeGallais.
