Gagging for civil war
Career activist and representative of himself has sent the Army packing from a beach near Wanganui. Apart from a fairly grandiose way of describing the fact that he kicked up a stink and the Queens Army wasn't in the mood for a race based incident - there is bugger all to the story. Other than to say that this sort of thing makes My Right's pale dome glow crimson (and knowing Second Lieutenant Nick Hodge - the Queens rep must have told him to back off very early in the piece).
This weeks prize for the least useful contribution to a delicate debate goes to Ken (night) Mair:
"We've taken a clear stance. We see it (the Government's plans) as straight theft and confiscation and we'll defend our lands as we see fit.".
Monday's events had been amicable, he said. He contacted the exercise's organiser, Second Lieutenant Nick Hodge, who said he understood the group's concerns and would move the exercise to another location.
Ken Mair does his bit for intolerance
