How to vote.
The Human Rights Commission has been taken to task today by the Republic of NZ Party, after a media release from EEO Commissioner Dr Judy McGregor, urged
“Women to vote in the up-coming local body elections and to consider voting for quality female candidates.”

I personally will be voting only for Male cantidates.
How can the human rights commission which after all is opposed to discrimination against one gender

Bevan, where can I find this information from.

Given what transpired it is probably not on the HRC website, but I am sure if you use the media email link they would ‘happily’ supply you with a copy of the release.

Thanx Bevan, you are right, it is not on the HRC’s site.
If you had something to do with holding them back, well done.

@julie
Thanks for posting that for NZ readers.
For those who are unfamiliar with Segolene Royal she was the socialist candidate in the French presidential election earlier this year. She tried the same gambit a couple of days before the election when the polls had them neck and neck. She ended up losing by about fifteen percent after women, rightfully feeling patronised, deserted her in droves.
