Kaumatua Visits 'Apartheid Through And Through'
"Granting Maori prisoners special visiting rights by Kaumatua should be known by its correct name - apartheid!" fumed Libertarianz leader Russell Watkins today.
Watkins is highly critical of the Government's "latest bit of politically correct idiocy." This is yet another example, he maintains, of "ridiculous, State-sponsored racism that the Clark Government seems to favour so strongly." Special visiting rights are not granted to Asians, Europeans, or any other racial group in our prisons, notes Watkins. "Nor should there be," he says, "so how can the Government justify this blatant separatism?"
"A Libertarianz government would stop these racist policies in their tracks. We argue that everyone should be treated equally under the law - regardless of their skin colour."
It's enough to make you vote Libertarianz!
