Bunkle: Champion Of The Ugly

"The Alliance forge ahead into a whole new galaxy of politically correct absurdity, boldly going where no man has gone before," said Libertarianz Deputy Leader Richard McGrath. "Phillida Bunkle is now the self-proclaimed battler for 'ugly rights'."

Dr McGrath was reacting to Ms Bunkle's absurd advocacy in yesterday's Sunday Star Times of an Employment Equity Bureau devoted to weeding out 'lookists' - i.e. employers who chose their staff on the basis of looks.

"Employers have a hard enough job these days without another legion of brainwashed feminist bureaucrats causing unwanted irritation. For goodness sake, let ugly people fight their own battles There is no law broken when someone simply acts irrationally," McGrath explained, "as long as the rights of others are undisturbed. A boss who chose his employees from a subjective assessment of their physical appearance, rather than on merit, would be the victim of his own stupidity."

"Libertarianz are disappointed in the Employers' Federation for their capitulation to this PC madness," McGrath added. "They say the existing laws against discrimination are common sense. In fact they are garbage, and we would repeal them instantly on becoming government."

Watched by potentially tens of thousands of voters in the weeks prior to the election this movie was not likely to have won votes for the then Labour government. More

Gordon Campbell: On The Skewed Media Coverage Of Gaza

Now that he’s back as Foreign Minister, maybe Winston Peters should start reading the MFAT website which is currently celebrating the 25th anniversary of how Kiwis alerted the rest of the world to the genocide in Rwanda. How times have changed ...

In 2023, the government is clutching its pearls because senior Labour MP Damien O’Connor has dared suggest that Gaza’s civilian population - already living under apartheid and subjected to sixteen years of an illegal embargo, and now being herded together and slaughtered indiscriminately amid the destruction of their homes, schools, mosques, and hospitals - are also victims of what amounts to genocide.
