NZ First opposes transgender law changes

New Zealand First has strongly rejected recommendations for law changes to help transgender people.

The Human Rights Commission is recommending the changes in a report after an inquiry into discrimination faced by transgender people. It suggests changing the Human Rights Act, and the Births, Deaths and Marriages Registration Act.

But New Zealand First MP Peter Brown describes the report as nonsense, saying its another example of social and sexual engineering.
