Hopes the scrapping of guidelines around transgender participation in community sport will pave the way for smaller organisations to follow.

A Government directive from National and New Zealand First has led to Sport New Zealand dumping the principles put in place in 2022

It comes as New Zealand First leader Winston Peters threatens funding cuts for sporting codes of this nature.

She says most international sporting federations have moved in this direction, which allows national federations to follow suit.
