Here we go. National morphing into Labour. Jackie Blue positioning herself to be the next Minister of Women's Affairs. ACT should be putting out a press release reminding New Zealand they would abolish this archaic, politics-of-privilege department.
Let woman then go on —not asking favors, but claiming as a right the removal of all hindrances to her elevation in the scale of being —let here receive encouragement for the proper cultivation of all her powers, so that she may enter profitably into the active business of life . . . Then in the marriage union, the independence of husband and wife will be equal, their dependence mutual, and their obligations reciprocal.
— Lucretia Coffin Mott, Discourse on Woman [December 17, 1849]

With the help of Labour and the media the power hungry in the Nats forced out of office a man who had principles. Why expect them to have principles now? The only thing the National Party wants is power. And if being the weak version of Labour is going to get them power they will do it. Any pretence that National supported expanding freedom died the the day they ran out Brash.
