"Brawling in the House over 'sexism' is sickening," says Libertarianz associate spokesman for deregulation of Welfare, Lindsay Mitchell. "Not least because we tax-payers are forced to fund this shrill debate. Sexism is not the issue - its a silly side-show in a statist circus."

"Ms Rankin should go, and so should her assailants. They are all thieves. The only difference being that Ms Rankin wants the lion's share in one hit whereas Mr Maharey will happily take second prize drip-fed over the next few years."

"New Zealanders need to pinch themselves very hard," says Mitchell, "and decide what they want to spend their own money on." She suggests a small quiz to help them:

Where would you like to spend your money in the coming year?

A, funding Christine Rankin's $800,000 windfall; or B, funding Mr Mahareys salary; or C, funding the habitually unemployed; or D, funding your own private insurance policy against any future loss of earnings, leaving Ms Rankin and Mr Maharey to fend for themselves.

ANSWER; Unfortunately this is a trick question. You do not have a choice. "However," advises Mitchell, "if you chose 'D' you should be voting Libertarianz - your only possible self-defence against this thieving rabble."
