Tim Barnett is New Zealand's Barney Frank. He's actually from Britain. Georgina Beyer is New Zealand's first trans-gender politician, but is quite a likeable character. The Family Planning Association equates to Planned Parenthood in the US.

In New Zealand, this law serves to guard the nation's principal industry: it is intended to protect the sheep.

"I hope there are sex workers out there celebrating tonight as I know they all can," Ms Healy said.

snicker

[Conspiracy Guy]

ROTFLMAO. I hope they don't allow any smoking in bars.

Parliament erupted in cheers last night

lol... and where did they go to celebrate?

[ICE-FLYER]

The socialist idiots who make up the vast majority of the government types in this country have brought New Zealand lower than ever. A great place with wonderful people is a whore house!

[Onelifetogive]

Sex is special and it should not be for sale.

Should it be legal to give it away free!

Is it too special even for that?

[Semper Paratus]

"I hope there are sex workers out there celebrating tonight as I know they all can,"

They're out in Wellington and ChristChurch giving away free samples.

In one of the closest votes in Parliament's history, the Act passed 60-59, on the abstention of Labour's Muslim MP Ashraf Choudhary. Had Mr Choudhary, who opposed the bill, not abstained the bill would have fallen because a 60-60 tie is counted as a defeat.

It's a religion of piece......

FYI

[tkathy]

Prostitution remains the predatory and powerful making money off the young and vulnerable. Rape for money.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

YES! New Zealand should be next year's FReeper cruise!!

[shaggy eel]

lol... and where did they go to celebrate?

,,, you're on to it.

[shaggy eel]

,,, good point.

[Lazamataz]

Hey, ugly people need sex too, y'know!

[Dan from Michigan]

What do you think about this????

[ServesURight]

Prostitution remains the predatory and powerful making money off the young and vulnerable. Rape for money.

No one is forcing young women to do anything. They're doing it on their own free will.

I knew the holier-than-thou FReepers would show up soon.

[Onelifetogive]

Prostitution laws have always bothered me...(NO,not like that!)...I can buy a woman dinner (or a BMW) in the hope that (well, you know), but I can't give her $50 bucks.

[Tall_Texan]

"We have created world-leading law. This is an historic moment."

This poor fellow has no concept of history, does he? If he thinks he's the first politician to rubber stamp prostitution, he's led a sheltered life

I don't doubt that the prostitute lobby wasn't above passing out a few bribes to get this passed.

And why no quotes from the International Brotherhood of Pimps?

,,, LOL! You know the aspect that interests me in this topic? I imagined the femynists would be performing about the government endorsing legalised exploitation of womyn. It isn't happening - and this is a country that is run by matrons and their subserviant vegetarian eunuchs.
