Maori Party Invokes Godwin’s Law

The Maori Party invokes Godwin’s Law with their comment about National MP Chester Borrow’s “gang-patch” proposal. I hope to have a direct quote when the transcript goes up but basically the reports are that they likened the law to the “targeting of Jews during WW2″.

Now I generally support the Maori Party and, unsurprisingly, do not agree with Chester’s Bill. However, this sort of hysterical exaggeration is really not needed.

Gold star to NZ First MP, Ron Mark, for his usual valued input, which you can easily tell is straight across the party line:

“The banning of gang insignia in public places should be just the start and the next step is to ban gangs altogether.”
