Play Of The Week:  Mammaries Are Made Of This

Boobs dominated the week.

Winston Peters failed to make a clean breast of it before the Privileges Committee. His lawyer did most of the talking, and appeared to have talked himself and his client into a tight spot. However by mid-week it appeared he’d left enough jiggle room for himself and his client.

A bit of a boob, too, from Aussie PM Kevin Rudd. Calling Helen Clark a left-wing control freak is… well, it’s true. But if you’re being diplomatic you’re not really supposed to be caught saying these things.

Historically Aussie and NZ PMs have seldom got along, in fact they’ve usually hated each other, and this could be the latest iteration of a familiar syndrome.

Still, the Bible Class boy Rudd, whose lead in the polls was confirmed when it emerged he’d once visited a strip club, could have furthered his home country appeal by popping down to Auckland’s main drag to view the Boobs on Bikes parade.

A last minute legal bid to stop the parade foundered. The Court found, to no-one’s surprise, except the Auckland City Council, (a body which seems constantly surprised by these things) tacky, tawdry and exploitative behaviour is not against the law.

If it was, Sensing Murder and most of the other stuff on prime time TV would be axed. Hmm.

Can we take another look at the Bill of Rights Act? It seems there might be room for improvement after all...
