Well, I guess they asked for it when they went after Labour and the Greens but I find myself marvelling at Labour's hypocrisy whereby they feign deep concern about the Exclusive Brethren but put Muslims on a pedestal.
Sue Moroney manouvered this primary question with a further supplementary to give Dalziel a chance to have a go.
SUE MORONEY to the Minister of Women's Affairs: What reports, if any, has she received encouraging women to enter non-traditional apprenticeships and trades?
Supplementary; What barriers exist to women taking up non-traditional roles in society?
Lianne Dalziel; Unfortunately there are some groups in New Zealand whose beliefs dictate that men make all the decisions and women are treated as second class citizens, unable to participate in any areas of New Zealand life. One of the groups is the Exclusive Brethren, whose beliefs limit choices for women, which is why their alignment to a major political party presents such a threat to the advancement of women here in New Zealand if their policies were ever to be implemented.

Said about Islam it would be true. Said about the Exclusive Brethren it would be true as well. But has Nanny forgotten that this is precisely the Labout theory of life as well. They wouldn't say that women are incompetent to make their own decisions and must be ruled by men. They say we all are incompetent to make our own decisions and must be ruled by wise, benevolent poltiicians like Helen Clark. Clark is the Exclusive Brethren on a grander scale.
Wonder how long it will be before the other christian denominations will start to defend the EB's. The remark is also a slight on the Catholic church with it's men only clergy.
Alienating the chritian vote will haunt the labour party in years to come.
No comments of course from the Peter Dunne.
