Press Release 18.11.11
‘Age discrimination as well as racism?’ asks Dr Peter Cleave.
Dr Peter Cleave, Mana Candidate in the Rangitikei electorate today asked the leadership of the Act, and National parties what their policies were on age as well as other matters including race.
‘We know what John Banks and Don Brash think of Maori and Polynesian situations,’ said Dr Cleave. ‘Will the teapot tape show a negative attitude to older people as well?’
Dr Cleave said that Mana had the best policy for elderly people.
‘People of retirement age will be better treated by Mana than by other parties,’ Dr Cleave said in an internet posting today.
Dr Cleave said that the elderly would not be forgotten by Mana in the Rangitikei and noted the irony in media attention being given to Winston Peters of New Zealand First when Mana had a better policy.
One more thing- Dr Cleave offered some questions for starters on the teapot tape;
‘Is the government guilty of double standards if it supports eavesdropping on its people without their knowledge as in the Urewera but then complains when someone eavesdrops on them as in Epsom?'
