UN disability vote exposes NZ’s role in pushing sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) agenda

UN gender policy

New Zealand’s active role in a recent United Nations disability vote has highlighted the extent of UN influence on domestic policy, and the way New Zealand officials help drive that international agenda back into New Zealand, says independent journalist Penny Marie.

The UN General Assembly has adopted a resolution on the Convention On The Rights Of Persons With Disabilities (UNCRPD) but during the process they voted to reject proposed references to “sexual orientation and gender identity” (SOGI). SOGI was set to be included in as a ‘protected ground’ for discrimination. But only after New Zealand worked to include those terms, and then voted to keep them in.

In the final stages of the resolution, an amendment led by Egypt successfully deleted SOGI from a key preambular paragraph, meaning the updated UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities will not list SOGI as a protected ground in that text. New Zealand had co‑facilitated the disabilities resolution with Mexico and voted against the amendment, aligning itself with states wanting SOGI embedded in disability language.

Independent journalist Penny Marie says this episode shows how UN decisions and New Zealand diplomats shape the norms that later appear in New Zealand law, funding and strategy documents.

“People say that ‘UN influence’ is a conspiracy theory, but here we have a concrete example: New Zealand co‑designing a UN disabilities resolution, pushing to include SOGI language to it, with the intention of bringing the same framing back into our Disability Strategy and domestic policy,” she says. “This is not a theory – it’s an observable pipeline from UN wording, to New Zealand diplomats, to New Zealand ministries, to New Zealanders.”

The article also highlights the role of the Ministry of Disabled People, Whaikaha, and the refreshed Disability Strategy 2026–2030, noting how intersectional language around disability and LGBTQIA+ rights is increasingly normalised in official documents even where budgets are not explicitly tagged to SOGI.

Penny argues that this UN‑driven framing risks blurring the line between genuine disability support and contested identity politics. “Disabled people deserve properly funded, evidence‑based support – not to have their needs bundled together with ideological projects that rebrand ‘gender identity’ as if it were a disability category,” she says. “New Zealanders are entitled to know who is making these decisions in their name, and why our officials are so often at the ‘progressive’ edge of UN negotiations.”

  1. Understanding the UN founders openly bragged about eugenics, the cowards are elite raping pedo’s.

    So then can join the dots up for folk as to why all NZ politicians bow down to them?

  2. New Zealand’s parliament is under the control of the Roman Catholic Church’s military orders, the Knights of Malta and the Jesuits, who exert their authority through their appointed offices such as the Governor General and the Chief Justice. The real power behind the curtain is the Roman Curia of the Holy Roman Empire, which is being expressed through the United Nations. The King of Spain is the current holder of the Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire.

    • Oh, honey, where do I even start with this absolute masterpiece of tinfoil couture?New Zealand’s Parliament secretly run by the Knights of Malta and Jesuits? Sweetie, the only “military order” controlling Kiwi politics is the relentless assault of dairy lobbyists and the occasional sheep uprising. The Governor-General and Chief Justice are about as puppet-mastered by the Vatican as my morning coffee is brewed by Illuminati baristas.The Holy Roman Empire? Babe, that expired in 1806—same year Napoleon told it to take a permanent dirt nap. It’s deader than disco and twice as embarrassing to bring up in 2026.The Roman Curia pulling UN strings while the King of Spain wears a nonexistent imperial crown? Congratulations, you’ve managed to cram three dissolved empires, one humanitarian NGO, and a random Spanish royal into a conspiracy blender and hit “purée.” The only thing the King of Spain is currently reigning over is a very nice collection of ceremonial sashes.This isn’t a theory; it’s performance art. A glorious, galaxy-brain fever dream that belongs framed in the Museum of Magnificent Delusions, right next to “the moon landing was filmed in Corsica” and “birds work for Big Pharma.”So no, New Zealand isn’t a Jesuit puppet state. It’s just a lovely country trying to govern itself without interference from 16th-century cosplayers and Reddit threads that read like they were written by a haunted typewriter.

  3. There are only 2 genders.

    The UN is just a network of unwanted politicians who have no further employment opportunities and are of no further use. Helen Clarke was thrown out of office and yet is still on the government payroll with free air travel and accommodation.

    The gender confusion is brought about by a group of sick in the head people rejectd by the opposite sex.. How it ever took flight is beyond reason.

    Taxes are for infrastructure and services needed by society and not for a bunch of sicko‘s trying to legislate acceptance of their fantasies and push it on society.

    These people are swindlers and pedos.

    It only took a little boy to point out the Emperor had no clothes on. iIt is long past time these people are dismissed.
