Well over 80% Oppose Bradford’s ‘Anti-Smacking’ Bill

by Leave a Comment

Press Release 21/11/06

The Society agrees with the 87% of New Zealanders who hold strongly to the view that parents should be able to smack their children without fear of breaking the law (Today’s on-line Stuff News Poll). Clearly the overwhelming majority of New Zealanders, as evidenced by the results of numerous nation-wide polls over the last few years, vehemently oppose Green MP Sue Bradford’s bill that seeks to repeal section 59 of the Crimes Act (1961). Her bill, which was reported back to parliament yesterday from the Justice and Electoral Committee, with significant amendments as well as a bill name change (!); if passed into law, would criminalise every parent and person in the place of a parent, who used any form of force against a child in the context of and/or for the purpose of loving corrective discipline.

by Leave a Comment

The Deputy Chief Censor. Ms Nicola McCully, whose statutory position expired on the 18th of September 2005, and yet remains on in her job, confirmed in a Sunday Star Times interview (13/08/06), that 80% of her time and that of the 16 censors in the Classification Unit, is devoted to the careful examination, classification and registration of DVDs and videos featurng sexually explicit adult material (hardcore porn sleaze). McCully who recieves a salary package of between $150,000 and $160,000 joined the team at the Classification Office in 1994 after leaving her first ever full-time job as a primary school teacher aide. Her boss, Chief Censor Bill Hastings, who heads the Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC) and whose statutory position expired in mid-October 2006; receives a salary package of between $190,000 and $200,000.  Precisely 82.21% of the combined salaries of these two Executive members funds their respective roles in the three-stage classification process of largely hardcore pornographic publications. In 2004/05 this amounted to $271,293 and in 2005/06 the contribution was $287,735, (remuneration costs in achieving Output 1 – defined as the examination, classification and registration of all publications dealt with in one financial year).

Society Disgusted by Website Attacks on NZ Teachers

by Leave a Comment

Press Release 19 July 2006

The Society is disgusted that many New Zealand secondary school teachers (all named) are being subject to a range of personal attacks and abuse on a new website where New Zealand students are encouraged to rate their teacher’s ability and post anonymous comments. The Secondary Teachers Union (PPTA) has also expressed disgust at the growth of this expoitative and pernicious website that has already attracted 165,000 visitors and 80,000 ratings on more than 18,000 teachers at nearly 1500 schools, since it began last month. Howerever, it says it is powerless to close it down and will only get involved in supporting its members “in cases where the website is being used to terrorise, intimidate or attack them.”

Outrage over BSA Ruling on "Bloody Mary"

by Leave a Comment

Press Release 30/06/06 

The Society submitted a comprehensive written complaint to the broadcaster over the screening of the highly offensive “Bloody Mary” episode of South Park. The broadcaster made no effort to interact with the details of the complaint other than send back to us a superficial stock reply sent to all complainants. There was at least some satisfaction that the broadcaster made a commitment not to re-screen the objectionable episode in the light of the record level of complaints it received. There was no acknowledgment of wrongdoing or any breaches of the Free-to-air Broadcasting Code.

Labour’s Homosexual Agenda: Promoting Lesbian Lobbyists

Labour’s Homosexual Agenda: Promoting Lesbian Lobbyists

The Labour Party’s ‘hidden’ agenda is to boost the number of high profile “gay”-‘rights’ lobbyists, like former Labour Party president and outspoken “open lesbian”, Ms Maryan Street, and lesbian ‘icon’ Ms Louisa Wall (placed at no. 36 no. 46 respectively, on the party list), within its parliamentary ranks. Labour thinks this will help it achieve its social engineering legislative programme that is so dear to the heart of its “gay” and feminist cabal: same-sex marriage, “gay” adoption, anti-discrimination laws to protect trans-sexuals and cross-dressers, and hate-speech laws to crush all criticisms of promiscuous homosexual lifestyles.

Maryan Street and Louisa Wall

The second highest ranked Labour Party List (2005) candidate who is not a sitting MP is the “open lesbian” Maryan Street, former president of the Labour Party. She sits at no 36 position, snuggled up to transsexual MP for Wairarapa, Georgina Beyer, who is placed at no. 35. Ms Street holds a position ahead of six sitting Labour MPs, three of whom hold electorate seats, David Parker (Otago), No.37; Russell Fairbrother (Napier) No. 38 and Lynne Pillay (Waitakere) No. 40; and is ahead of three current Labour List MPs, David Hereora (No. 39), Moana Mackey (No. 41) and Lesley Soper (No. 45).

Louisa Wall, a former Silver Ferns player who has Tainui and Ngati Tuwharetoa heritage, is another prominent lesbian who has been placed on the Labour Party list, at No. 46. Louisa, who lives with her partner Michelle in the Auckland suburb of Waterview, is employed by the Human Rights Commission which she joined in July 2001 and is a paid board member of the taxpayer-funded Sport and Recreation New Zealand. Like Ms Street she has become an icon among the “gay” community. Both were advertised in the following glowing terms as guests at a “gay” political event “Election 2005” held on 10 August 2005.

“Lesbians can make a difference! Maryan Street and Louisa Wall are standing for the Labour party and tell it all about why you should take this election seriously. Both Louisa and Maryan have previously challenged us at aLBa and you won’t be disappointed.
They are well known and inspiring lesbian leaders. Louisa, a Black and Silver Fern with a strong interest in public and social policy. Maryan, a seasoned political organiser and manager, rising to the position of Party President of the Labour Party.”

Earlier this year, Maurice Williamson, National MP for Pakuranga, referred to Ms Street in parliament as a scoring a trifecta in being a “lesbian” a “woman” and a former “Labour Party president” (6/4/05). These ‘qualifications’ appeared to him to be essential to get ahead on the Labour Party List.

Maryan Street is reported as being very very close to Prime Minister Helen Clark and a core member of influence in the “gay”/ feminist cabal within the Labour Party that includes Ms Clarke’s close advisor, Heather Simpson, another lesbian. Both Ms Street and Ms Wall are members of “Labour’s Rainbow Team” and are regularly referred to as “gay candidates” in pro-homosexual publications.

While Ms Street has little chance of winning the conservative electorate of Taranaki-King Country where she is standing, she is expected to get into parliament based on her high Labour Party list ranking. She was one of the thousand who signed the Civil Union Bill support ad in the Sunday Star-Times, says the issue is one of human rights and choice.

“It doesn’t degrade marriage – it simply recognizes the same legal status and obligations for other couples without altering one jot the rights and recognition of married heterosexuals,” she told GayNZ.com.

Ms Street is an industrial relations academic who headed the Centre for Labour Studies, University of Auckland. She is a political activist with extensive experience in the union movement.

Ms Wall says denying same-sex and de facto couples the right to enter into a civil union just because they are a minority is undemocratic.

“As a member of a socially democratic society, I support full citizenship rights,” she says. “We all have the right to form a civil union if we so choose, and this legislation will formalise that right, especially for the rainbow community whom this right has been denied.”

The extent to which homosexuals and lesbians have infiltrated the Labour Party, or rather been welcomed in with open arms and bent wrists, came into sharp focus when Peter Kaiser, the homosexual partner of “openly gay” Cabinet Minister, Chris Carter, withdrew his nomination for the presidency of the party.

His decision followed a sharp drop in labour popularity in an opinion poll, and criticism that the party represented gays and lesbians and other minority and special interest groups, rather than a broader cross-section of New Zealand society.
