I think the point that she was trying to make was that the majority of sexual violence in New Zealand is conducted by men and that our transgender community are often the victims of that. He said he had not spoken to her over the weekend but had a text conversation after discovering she was at Accident and Emergency. "Family violence and harm does not discriminate and her obvious bias against one race is deeply troubling." Is it any wonder there was violence shown at the protest when we have a minister outright supporting it." My intention was to affirm that trans people are deserving of support and to keep the focus on the fact that men are the main perpetrators of violence. "Chris Hipkins needs to decide what sort of standards he accepts from his ministers. I think the clarification that Marama Davidson's put out is absolutely fine". "I am the (violence prevention) minister - and I know who causes violence in the world - it is white cis men. "I don't believe people should throw things at a protest, whether what they're throwing is soup - or a brick. It is also important to acknowledge the disproportionate impact violence has on our rainbow whānau and diverse communities. That is white cis men who cause violence in the world." With the crowd making too much noise for her to be heard, Parker was escorted away from the event by security before she could speak.

“Trans people are a taonga... “I think the bottom line is her comments were an incredibly harmful generalisation of an entire group of people, they were wrong, they were offensive,” Luxon said. Hipkins acknowledged it was possible ministers and MPs could experience more “aggressive, in-your-face behaviour” as the election neared and he encouraged them to form a strategy to deal with it. “I think Marama has owned the mistake and I think that’s appropriate.” Davidson’s comments came while she was being questioned by Counterspin, a website Davidson yesterday described as a “far-right and conspiracy theory website”. “I hope that if she needs to, she takes a bit of time to recuperate.” Hipkins described Davidson’s incident involving the motorcycle as a “horrific experience” that she was still recovering from. However, Hipkins - who had said it was a “regrettable situation” - told reporters he had had a conversation with Davidson this morning, during which the Minister for the Prevention of Family and Sexual Violence regretted how the situation had unfolded. Hipkins said Davidson “clearly regrets” the language she used and he didn’t feel it necessary to request her resignation. “As I indicated, given the circumstances, I think people make mistakes in those circumstances.” “She’s apologised for the comments she’s made, she’d already issued a correcting statement on that yesterday,” Hipkins said. “I am a prevention violence minister, and I know what causes violence in this world and it’s white cis men.”

The Prime Minister has not directly communicated with Green Party co-leader Marama Davidson since the controversial comments she made about "white cis men" ...

National is demanding Marama Davidson apologise to cis white men over her comments from Saturday. Prime Minister Chris Hipkins says he considers the matter ...

So when the far right media came to me I was still in that charged environment as well which is why I should have taken far more care with the words that I used." She said she had not initially recognised Counterspin, but "it became obvious when they started asking quite inflammatory questions which charged the situation even more. "I guess hard and fast rules in these sorts of circumstances don't work. I understand the importance of my language in my work. "Why is that a funny statement? Parker did not end up speaking at her Auckland or Wellington events over the weekend, after hundreds of trans rights protesters showed up. that is an assault, make no mistake. What I haven't heard from her or Chris Hipkins yesterday was an apology," he said. "It's a horrific experience to have gone through being hit by a motorcycle in what was already probably quite an emotionally charged situation. She had initially said as prevention of sexual and family violence minister, she knew it was white cis men who caused violence. "I've had a conversation with her this morning," he said. "She should do it publicly and she should do it to the people that she hurt."

Appearing before journalists and in Parliament on Tuesday, the Greens co-leader and Minister for the Prevention of Family and Sexual Violence repeatedly said ...

National and ACT MPs called on her to apologise for her comments blaming "white cis men" for violence.

Upston repeated her question on whether Davidson would apologise. What I was doing was pushing back on the harmful and false narrative that trans people are one of the biggest risks to women. Any person can be a victim of violence, but we cannot get away from the fact that the perpetrators of sexual violence or family violence are mostly men." Amongst wider comments supportive of the transgender community, Davidson said: "I am a prevention violence minister, and I know who causes violence in the world. "I acknowledge that I could have been clearer in my remarks on Saturday. The term relates to a person whose gender identity corresponds with the sex assigned at birth.

On Saturday morning, I was hit by a motorcyclist who struck me at a pedestrian crossing. The person who hit me was part of a convoy of motorcyclists.

I should have made clear in my comments that violence happens in every community. My top priority is to support, protect and believe all victims and survivors of violence. A clip of that video is now circulating online and is being used to distract from a broader conversation about the causes of violence in Aotearoa.
