Whose community?
The Society for the Promotion of Community Standards has put out a press release giving poor old Charles Chauvel a hard time. They have slammed the "feminist and gay cabal" in the Labour Party and Chauvel's previous work for the Aids Foundation and Human Rights Commission (which they virtually re-label the gay rights commission).
They keep quoting the word gay - as in "gay" - which I don't understand. Is the term still so new to them? The seem to prefer the term sodomy.
They also get in behind (scuse the pun) Peter Dunne in Ohariu-Belmont, so it's good to see that community standards lodge themselves in a political party.
And, surprise surprise, Winston will sit on the cross benches after the election. Which means every decision will be a haggle to see how much he can get, not so much in terms of policy, but more likely media attention.
