I’m still pissed I have to wait till I’m 55 to join GreyPower for my discount card.

You’d think they’d have a youth wing.

It’s called common sense. Are you suggesting you have not seen enough from the likes of Seymour and Peters to know they do things either to distract from the real stinker ( say like gloating you are putting hundreds out of work or being the very opposite of democratic with “urgency”) or to throw meat to their voting base?

In reply to Benny. Of course it can be questioned. I am saying the hand ringing and going on about dark days is utter horseshit from a bunch of tossers who certainly aren’t motivated by supposed injustice. Why not focus more on tax exemptions for corporations like Sanitarium or other groups that get special treatment for their religious beliefs. That’s an actual injustice.

Dr Parmar reminds me of Margaret Thatcher. She too was a woman who climbed the ladder and gained university degree/s in science. But being born in India means knowing all about violent discrimination so she is right to be wary of that. However the university itself is an enclave for the special clever people studying, where they can exclude the hoi polloi. Let people have their meeting places with other people they understand and want to talk with and get to know.

The good Doctor has succeeded in everything she does and she and her husband have a finger in a number of pies. Please just let others find their way to their comfort zone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parmjeet_Parmar
I think that Indian people are going to take over the western world when looking at the British Parliament, shared with Pakistani with whom the Indian nation is not closely friendly.

In reply to Benny. Well said Benny' racism and segregation is a two edge sword and should not be practiced by either side .

In reply to Wheel. Space for women is not limiting access by race. It is a safe space, and no arguments about having space for men. However, if we having space for Maori & Pacifica, then why not for Asians and whites too? Do they not need support and safe spaces? What about international students/ out of town students who leave all their support system to come to this country/University- do they not need supportive safe space either? Just because we have being doing something for 4 decades, doesn't mean it can't be questioned?

FFS Ada. You know damn well ACT could not give a toss in reality. Those spaces have been around for ages and wanker Seymour only cares now?

It should be quite obvious that Winston and Luxon’s bosses would have nothing of the sort. There’s only one group they’re working for.
