So that is what NZ has come to when the social liberals reign. “Insulting and offensive” remarks become a matter for arrest. What a disgusting event and what a joke country NZ is becoming.
How about the many times Air NZ insults and offends NZers with its crass advertising campaigns or its patronizing in flight announcements?
Helen Klark’s own airline should have gone down when it went bankrupt. These losers are only afloat today because Klark stole taxpayer’s money to keep them flying, and now they’re calling the cops on NZers for insulting and offending their staff?
..and what about the cops? What the hell is up with their management when this country is awash in violent crime and burglary and theft and they’re sending scarce resources to the airport to arrest people for “insulting and offensive” remarks??
Air NZ should start calling itself Air North Korea. It would be more in keeping with their jack booted attitudes towards freedom of speech.
Its another example of what I have pointed out so often. Social liberals are not liberals, they’re authoritarians in disguise, trying desperately to enforce speech codes and thought codes, and if you don’t comply, they call the cops.

Australia is just as bad. When a person says children need a mother and father and is subsequently the subject of an “anti-discrimination” complaint for saying it, then we’re stuffed.

And I have to ask:
What are the odds the woman charged here is white, and the “offended party” is either an ethnic minority or a sodomite who twisted what was said and made it all about “racial/sexual discrimination”?!
But even of that’s not the case, under what law, exactly, can charges be laid for “insulting and offensive” remarks?! Any legal eagles out there?

I have often said that these progressives only tolerate other progressives. They are actually very intolerant, whilst all the while claiming the opposite. This latest case is an appalling attack on freedom of speech, and freedom to have an opinion. To be sent off for enforced thought re-engineering is most disturbing.

BTW – “This latest case” referred to Dr David van Gend.

The link to the Herald story is also interesting in that the thrust of the article is about name suppression,a cause celebre with the MSM at the moment. The fact that you can lose your liberty over alleged “insulting and or offensive remarks”,is of no consequence! That seems to be taken for granted now,not worthy of comment or outrage..
By the way re the so called “Occupy” movement,it’s celebrated in the MSM and among the activist lobby for them to “discuss,debate,dissent” but those 3 Ds are not extended to conservatives. Free speech for me but not for thee.And as this blog points out that now has the force of law.
If you are conservative or traditionalist you discuss or dissent at your peril.

Exactly right, showing again how the left have destroyed not only the trade of journalism, and our media and our education system, but following on from that, the resistance that should exist naturally within a citizenry to the scourge of big government.
The vacuous uneducated moron who wrote that story is probably right behind the idea of arresting people for “insulting” others, and doesn’t have a clue what she is really cheering for.
