I do wonder if he is a cross dresser. Whatever, he's a dyed-in-NZ-lambswool misogynist.

BTW, the link to the judgement referred to in n2 is broken. Here is the current link, plus archive, plus direct link to the pdf of the judgment:

Totally. It's really the upside down we are living in isn't it? Affirm=Deny, Pride=Pretend. Bully=Anti-bullying champion. Sigh. Have a great Saturday night.

Great letter - thanks for doing this and sharing it. It beggars belief that Shaneel Lal gets away with what he does, in all likelihood because his 'identity' gives him some sort of immunity. Imagine if a National Party MP was doing what Lal does? He would be excoriated from here to the North Pole and back again.

Oh thanks. Behind every good post is a Twitter thread of people who have shared excellent examples. I think what's here is just a fraction of what Lal has done.
