Green’s Julie Anne Genter wants
a national register of ‘sexual harassment’. Green’s Gareth Hughes wants to ban
rodeos. Act’s David Seymour wants to ensure no one ever has to suffer pain
(Letters, Feb 5).
On Waitangi Day I have to ask,
are we now a nation of scaredy-cats? Are we really over-feminised weaklings,
needing ‘safeguards’ everywhere we look? Where’s
our sense of humour, our sense of proportion, our No 8 wire mentality?
If it’s ‘cruel’ to euthanise an
animal, how cruel is it for Labour's Jacinda Ardern to propose legislation ‘decriminalising’ abortion, so
even more unborn children get killed and their mothers damaged for life?
If "it’s a human right to feel
safe", then it's a right for the human in utero. It's a right for the elderly
and disabled who’d feel threatened by legal
assisted suicide.
These are the rights needing safeguards, not women who can go to the Human Rights Commission, or bulls who can be given a bullet.

Those orange road cones which
like a nasty rash have spread far and wide on our highways and byways would seem a metaphor
for a disease of our national spirit.
And it could prove
fatal.
