A white sportscoat and a pink carnation, I'm all dressed up ...

The lunacy of local government. …Dunedin city council wants to support Nu Zulun’s cricket team, the All Whites when the West Indies comes to play. It is therefore encouraging fans at the cricket ground to wear all white clothes and to shout “we’re all white here!” when the West Indies runs on to the field.

Some have raised eyebrows. On comes a … well …black team … and the crowd shouts we’re all white here”. Others have said go ahead and shout. That way we won’t be politically correct.

I predict that a crowd shouting at a black team : “we’re all white here” will not go down well in the international press and the country will once again appear as somewhat lacking in the IQ steaks ... ooops .... stakes.

PC or not – it is time for this adolescent country to strife towards adulthood.
