There I was thinking Peter Debnam had lost the plot...
From today's Oz (http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,19974584-7583,00.html):
New Zealand's National Party leader Don Brash, at the NZ Association for Migration and Investment in Auckland on Friday:
"Diversity is a bit like red wine: a certain amount is good for one's health; too much too quickly alters your personality and can be thoroughly bad ... It's important to recognise that there's an implied contract between New Zealand and would-be citizens: New Zealand offers you citizenship with all the rights and privileges of being in every respect a Kiwi, but in return you owe New Zealand your loyalty and commitment. You can't be a New Zealander and claim that some other law takes precedence over the law of the New Zealand parliament. You can't be a New Zealander and write to foreign newspapers urging a boycott of New Zealand exports, as one would-be citizen did recently in reaction to the publication by two newspapers of some cartoons satirising Mohammed."
Talk about cringeworthy!
