When government ministers dismiss deadly storm events as "just weather", as Mark Mitchell did on RNZ just now, they reveal themselves to be unfit for government. It's thinly veiled climate denial.

Think this is right. The NZCA's comments practically give doctors the certainty they need to keep prescribing medicine to their trans patients in accordance with their professional judgement. Excellent! My view that the NZCA decision gets there in an odd way isn't an issue on that front at all.
