Opinion: National Wants Women to Forget
[]
Salient
The rebrand only works, however, if we forget what the National-led Government has already done with the power they have.
On 19 July, National announced that a re-elected National Government would introduce an affirmative definition of sexual consent.
Officials specifically recommended removing begging and rough sleeping (behaviour people may rely on to survive) from the legislation.
A promise to strengthen consent law does not erase the cancellation of 33 pay-equity claims.
Nor does it explain why the Government could move quickly to police rough sleeping, but not to clarify the law governing sexual consent.
