On population

A mathematical solution to reducing poverty and population is to have families that bring into this world only one or two offspring. But this is a decision for the respective parents out there to make.

Glenn Forsyth, Taupo. planned for the Mt Albert Grammar School ball stated that on arrival students will form two queues — males on one side and females on the other — so they can be patted down by “professionals” of the same gender. Does the school propose to provide similar security arrangements for LGBT students? And what about those students who are uncertain or confused about their gender identity? I believe more than two queues should be provided to ensure equitable treatment under the Human Rights Act.
