Govt puts sexuality education framework out for consultation

From Checkpoint, 4:46 pm on 14 April 2025

The government has put out a framework on relationships and sexuality education for consultation, after removing guidelines in June over New Zealand First's concerns about what it calls gender and sexuality ideology. The Education Minister said neither she nor New Zealand First has had any influence over the new framework, which updates the health curriculum last reviewed in 2007. Political reporter Russell Palmer spoke to Lisa Owen.
