Martin Doyle Cartoon: Unjolly Roger

If it's unacceptable for someone in public office to call someone "Sweetie", and I say "if", then why wasn't Paula Bennett sacked for her "Zip it, Sweetie" comment in parliament? Even on a good day, New Zealanders [male and female] swing between corny Puritanism and foul-mouthed savagery.

Did you know Scoop has an Ethical Paywall?

If you're using Scoop for work, your organisation needs to pay a small license fee with Scoop Pro. We think that's fair, because your organisation is benefiting from using our news resources. In return, we'll also give your team access to pro news tools and keep Scoop free for personal use, because public access to news is important!
