Maharey vs Plunket

Russell B pointed out that I had ignored the issue which got Maharey so angry at Radio NZ. That is true – I focused on his idiocy in threatening to go to the RNZ Board instead of the BSA.

In terms of the substance of the issue, I can’t see any rational defence for Sean Plunket in asking whether the comparison to Botswana suggested racism. I’d be very annoyed if I was Maharey and would want an apology also. However I wouldn’t threaten to illegally involve the Board and I wouldn’t lose my rag in Parliament over the issue of the Minster threatening illegally to go to the Board.
