PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Libertarianz Deputy Leader Richard McGrath says his stomach churned as he read the speech given by John Delamare in China last night. "I am disgusted to find a representative of our semi-free country offering moral support to the bloodthirsty tyrants of Tiananmen Square".

Dr McGrath rejects Delamere's claim that there is only one China, and that New Zealand is proud to be her friend. "I speak for all my party, in saying we do not want any part of the torture, show trials and inhumane punishment dealt out to political dissenters in communist China."

"Unlike the amoral Mr Delamere, most New Zealanders are appalled by the reports of repression and brutality that emerge from China," says McGrath. "I am outraged," added McGrath, "that a politician from here is sucking up to the same people who sent in army tanks to crush students. Ask yourself what sort of person would want to suck up to these murderers?"
