Yes I've noticed that too. It's like feminism in the 70's 80's style is out of fashion. What is going on here?
In Canta, the Canterbury University magazine, a woman professor was berating the magazine for some terrible misogyny it printed but there didn't seem to be much of a reaction from the students at all. -
Ah. So it's kinda "Burgers; better fresher. Just like women, really"?
Not even that. There's just these bikini clad models bouncing around on exercise balls - end of story.
Pretty girls = Burger King.
Sex = Sales.
Not a high point in the subtle art of advertising.But the hypocrisy is that they have pulled their ads from the programme ‘Californication’ which a minor lobby group has objected too because of it’s sexual content.

And yet... I can't put my finger on why I find the Burger King ads so tasteless and tacky, but I LOVE the Tui girls.
I think the Tui girls are nominally connected to making the beer in a male fantasy way. Bikini clad girls bouncing along on exercise balls have no connection with burgers.

sorry I was being lazy, and I still can't make the stuff work to do links and quotes beautifully and my husband is threatening to give my dinner to the dog, but I know its here somewhere....
Thanks for going to the trouble here Sara. Very interesting stuff. Sorry the dog got your dinner.
To make the links work - firstly I find it easier to open another window with the webpage in it that you are going to link to. Then copy the bits after 'Link:' from the stuff in the left margin.
Then in the other browser copy the address. Then delete the three letters 'url' and paste in the address. Then delete the words 'link text' and type in your own spiffy words and it will come out like

Nice little editorial in The Press this morning on it all.

That was my personal estimate after reviewing most of the media reports at the time (there have been some which were reported in local media which haven't been picked up elsewhere ie Wairoa ) and asking around, I then confirmed this with someone who is formally researching this.
Is someone going to write a book about all this? Hager? Sounds like you are already on to it BH.

"That 60 houses were searched nationwide"
That was my personal estimate after reviewing most of the media reports at the time (there have been some which were reported in local media which haven't been picked up elsewhere ie Wairoa ) and asking around, I then confirmed this with someone who is formally researching this. At least one of the people raided have said they were too intimidated to make a fuss because the police had said they'd come back and arrest them. I imagine that story is fairly common.
"but of the 16 arrested only 3 were Tuhoe and only 3 others Maori."
My current count is 10 are maori or have maori ancestry. Three of these people are more publically identified with peace and social justice concerns. The raids were predominantly against those who were involved in Maori politics (or their friends and relatives). I'm not sure of which iwi they belong to in all cases, but the majority are not Tuhoe.
Thanks BH. Lovely to see data amongst all the opinion!

Sorry - 'sums'- that creeping dyslexia nearly terminal.
