I've dubbed it New Zealotland after the anonymous scrote punched the granny at Let Women Speak.

A comment about the Police behaviour at the Posy Parker meeting (I'm still listening to the interview).

Yes the police may have received an order not to 'interfere'. It doesn't matter. To even be a police officer they must have taken an oath. To be working on that day as a police officer they must have been standing under their oath.

That oath is to keep the peace.

That is all that matters.

Apposite. The attendant problrm for those of us using disabled facilities is going into them (at pool or at library after a male (unless cleaning woman has got there ahead of you) is hacing to yourself a. Flush loo b. Use shower ( at pool obes)to wash down surfaces to be able to hygienically safe and use them.

We women definitely need one of the two 'disabled' facilities made 'women only' but despite pointing this reality out in person and often over se eral years in writing ... to CCC (council) and DPA (Disabled Persons Assembly) no traction.

Thanks Katrina, in the last few years of my mother's life we would frequently bemoan the lack of single sex toilets when we were out and about.

For me as a bloke, when in public toilets, safety isn't an issue, but hygiene and convenience both are.

Single sex public toilets are an important facility and yes Chris Luxon it matters to blokes too.

I go to the local dog park almost daily and have for years. Up until last year, the outhouse had one stall for women and another for men. Then in their great wisdom, they decided to take the m and f off the entries and make them gender neutral. No big deal, right? Except, since they're outhouse stalls which by nature are disgusting to begin with, now about 80% of the time when I go in, the toilet seat is up. Now I have to touch it to put it down when I go. Similarly, now the men have to touch it to put it up when they go. All to solve a problem that was nonexistent in the first place. So stupid.

Good interview Katrina. As you say, they have this policy. And that's it. As I've said before, this is an agenda (which is why it was launched during covAIDs) and there is only one way to confront it. I'd come and see you if I was mobile. I've got some experience dealing with these people. And I know a lot of the history. I'm in Cust if you want to catch up. I may be able to get a lift into Chch (I'm disabled so need to plan).

Rodney is correct. This is evil. Depraved.

Also, 'phobic' implies fear. And, as you discussed, language is important.

Have a look at Brave New World. This child sexuality thing is covered. If you look into Huxley's provenance much may become clear.
