Remember this infamous PowerPoint presentation from National’s 2005 campaign?
Remember the Nats’ vote-winning strategy of targeting female voters as outlined in The Hollow Men?
Remember Key’s answer to Investigate Magazine:
Investigate: In terms of the votes that you’re out to capture by 2008, who are you after, what is your target market?
Key: It’s got to be women. Women are the clear audience – not that they don’t like what we’ve said in the past – I think it is adding on to the message that we’ve had.
Well I wonder how this “target market” will feel about National’s decision to kill off not one, but two pay equity enquiries aimed at securing fairer pay for women.
UPDATE: Looking at the Women’s Affairs section of their website it seems National’s now lost for words on women’s issues too. That’s one big blank screen. – Tane

New depths in unsustaintable arguments HS, but just for fun, can you tell me which countries have the gender equality you assume, and on which indices do you base your assumptions?
The logic runs like this:
Proposition 1: I am a white middle-class able-bodied man.
P2: Not everything is laid out on a silver platter for me.
P3: I am aware that some people who are neither white, nor able-bodied, nor middle-class, nor men, have succeeded in life.
P4: In fact, some of them have it better than I do!
Conclusion: I’m downtrodden! It’s the fault of communist ethnic feminazis! Help!

Well said Lew
H/S -What are you so scared of?
Lew
Proposition 1 was : The whole world is made to suit white middle class able-bodied men
Defend the proposition as you want or even better attend the felchtards conference with your work colleague.
Janet why are you so anti white middle class men did you used to be one ?
Sprout do you take it up the back passage from Wombats ?
Oh we at least that’s a better way to spend your time than waiting for someone to visit your blog.
hs you’re drinking again, aren’t you?

PB
Has the conference adjourned ?
Felix
Yes a lovely ale ……. then not now …. far too early in the morning.
Is that supposed to mean something to me hs?
Ask the Wombat.
Pip pip over and out bobbity bob
Notice how its only the white, middle class, hetrosexual males who claim there’s no more sexisim, racisim, class system, homophobia, or if there is any, its against them.
Notice how it’s the hand wringing felchtards who claim that all their problems are due to sexisim, racism, class system or homophobia.
Case in point, see above.
Your a wanker, a liar and probably a thief, how do you feel about Ryall wanting private doctors statistics made public too, I bet yours dont look to good, you appear as a brain dead moron in every comment you write here so I wouldnt be suprised if you’re useless at your job too.

@jerkoff
It’s you’re and doctor’s – you must be channelling your friends at the felchtard’s convention.
I’ve got no issue with private stats being made available and support Severus’s initiative whole heartedly – you should be aware however that we ‘ve endeavoured to remove those in the medical profession who are a danger to patients due to age or lack of skill before the requirement for DHBs to make these issues openly available and we will continue to do so.
Must go now as I’ve left my computer’s mouse inside the patient … he haw he haw.
plagiarist:
stats: wrong
we ‘ve : wrong
“..you should be aware however that we ‘ve endeavoured to remove those in the medical profession who are a danger to patients due to age or lack of skill before the requirement for DHBs to make these issues openly available and we will continue to do so.”: Incoherent. Learn to use the comma.

Are you still stalking me ?
Haven’t I made it clear I’m not interested in joining the council of felchtards… and its current Grand Wizard is an absurdity, someone with a blog less visited than the Spouts.
He haw.
