As a matter of interest, Tim Barnett is the Member of Parliament who introduced the recently successful Bill to legalise prostitution in New Zealand.
I dont know which is scarier, the "desk" or the Ministry..
Shag, I did a quick Google on Clark, and I see she's about 53 and apparently never married, and no kids. She's transgender?! What, er, does that entail in her case, if true?
,,, global agenda.
Democracy provides one voice or vote for each person. Such a system makes it almost impossible for those who hate America and the west to take over. They have to change the weighting of the system. They are trying to do this by giving each non-white constituency a "vote" equal to the single vote of the white/capitalist constituency.
It started by giving those who spoke for the black community a seat at the table. This has spread so that those who speak for all freaks/perverts, recognizing that they would not be invitied through the traditional process, now seek to get an equal voice. Outside the US, organized labor often has that inclusion in the process and, now, so do the Greens. Soon, the fairies, lesbos and freaks will break up and each seek to sit at the table as speak for themselves because "each has unique problems." Then, add envirnomentalists, the victims of each disease, all nationalities, and then sub-groups of all groupings for each ethnicty and nationality. The America haters invite an INFINITE number of groups to be represented at the table. The power/wealth to be diluted doesn't come from them, but from the white middle class.
The endgame is that those in America who have built something will have what they have unfairly acquired split among EVERYONE based on how those at the table decide. The endgame will look a lot like Zimbabwe with nothing worth much of anything. This NZ "desk" is simply the next step of the neocommunists taking from democracy and "giving" the stolen power to their allies.

A fierce attack by Prime Minister Helen Clark on the Greens is being dismissed by her opponents as an attempt to deflect attention from her Corngate woes.
Miss Clark ended an uneasy truce with the environmental party yesterday by accusing them of colluding with National to damage her reputation.
"We get very curious alliances and I suggest to you that what binds these people together is the desire to smear the prime minister and the Government," she said.
Her comments followed ongoing criticism over the withholding of promised Corngate documents and her refusal to appear before the select committee investigating the Gisborne GM scare.
"I have nothing to offer the select committee," Miss Clark said.
"I sometimes wonder whether I am a victim of my own success as a popular and competent prime minister.
"I do not control everything. I did not run this issue."
The inquiry is becoming a significant irritation for the Government, calling into question its preparedness to police the regime that will take effect when the GM moratorium expires next month.
It is being chaired by Green Party co-leader Jeanette Fitzsimons who copped the brunt of the prime minister's anger yesterday.
"I know from the feedback I've had from (Environment Minister) Marian Hobbs that she didn't feel she was subjected to a particularly robust chairing of the select committee," Miss Clark said.
There was "clearly" a close working relationship between the chairwoman of the select committee, Ms Fitzsimons, and National MP Nick Smith, she said.
Miss Clark said the inquiry had become a political exercise.
"I don't think it's about getting to the bottom of anything.
"It's about trying to stir up from the seabed, as it were, a great sandy storm to cloud issues."
Ms Fitzsimons rejected the criticism, saying she and Dr Smith had very different agendas.
"His objective in the whole thing is to damage the prime minister," she said.
"Mine is to get the facts behind what happened and make recommendations for handling such things better in the future."
If necessary, Labour and the Greens would be able to work together in the future, she said.
Dr Smith said Miss Clark was trying to deflect attention from her role in the GM scare.
"Every time someone questions the Government they get called a racist, a little creep or have their conscience questioned," he said.
