You poor, unfortunate Kiwis are just seeing the beginning of what the femocracy that passes for government in your green and pleasant land is going to cost you. This defence unpreparedness is just the beginning. It is going to get much worse and may well cost you your nation. No human being worth the term deserves what these females in power have planned for you.
One day - if there are any of you left - you will burn Helen Clark in effigy. Actually, it would be far better to burn her in reality whilst there are still enough of you left to build a pyre and chain her onto it!
Let this be a lesson to all freedom-loving peoples. Never let a femocracy develop in your government! By all means had female politicians, but never, ever, let them have power. Did no-one learn the lessons of Thatcherism?
