The Wellington City Council’s ban on teenagers and young adults’ birthday
parties is indeed, as upset Mum Andrea complains, ‘a bit discriminatory’. And
why not?
Discrimination is nothing to get excited about. Everyone has a right and a
responsibility to discriminate the best course of action, even as to when to get
out of bed in the morning.
In this case, the council sees its responsibility to protect ratepayers’
investment in their venues as outweighing the right of teenagers and young
adults to cause damage to life, limb and property, and trouble for our
overworked constabulary.
