Barry Soper: ZB senior political correspondent on the Government softening regulations for transgender people in community sports

The Government has softened some restrictions impacting trans people in community sports. As part of National's coalition agreement with New Zealand First, there was a threat to withhold public funding if sports bodies didn't keep trans athletes out of grassroots competitions. Sport and Recreation Minister Chris Bishop will now take a watching brief, after feedback from Sport NZ. ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says this sort of thing will be difficult to enforce a blanket ban on. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
