ONLY 29% OPPOSITION TO THE BILL
A
new poll
has found majority support for a Member’s Bill that would
ensure the biological definition of a woman and man are
defined in law according to biology, with two in
three voters of the coalition government parties in
support.
The Legislation (Definitions of
Woman and Man) Amendment Bill will provide clarity and
consistency in New Zealand law by defining “woman” as
“an adult human biological female” and “man” as
“an adult human biological male” in the Legislation Act
2019, and was introduced
by NZ First.
In the independent
polling commissioned by Family First NZ and carried out
by Curia Market Research, 1,000 respondents were asked
“A Member of Parliament has proposed a law that would
define a woman as an adult human biological female and a man
as an adult human biological male regardless of gender
identity. Would you support or oppose this proposed
law?”
52% of respondents said they
support the proposed law and only 29% oppose it. (A further
19% were unsure).

Women net support was +4%
with a further 27% unsure, but men were strongly in favour
with net support +42%.
Net support by age is +19% for
under 40s, +22% for 40-59 year olds, and +26% for over
60s.
In terms of party vote, ACT voters were most
supportive (72%) followed by NZ First (68%) and National
(64%). Undecided voters were 54% in favour.
Labour
were 35% for and 44% against, Greens -15% net support and
TPM -13%.
The nationwide poll was carried out between
30 April and 4 May and has a margin of error of +/-
3.1%.
Family First’s Bob McCoskrie
says:
“Given the recent decision by the UK Supreme
Court, it’s time that NZ’s Government also removes the
confusion and returns to simple biological reality. Family
First is calling on both the National Party and the ACT
Party to fast-track NZ First’s Member’s Bill and adopt
it as a Government bill. It’s clearly supported by
2/3’rds or more of your voters. Contrary to media and left
wing commentary, this is not a negative “populist”
proposal. This is a very popular
proposal!”
