A Pandora’s Box
Letter to the Editor
by Ted Low, Wellington

Three cheers for Rosemary McLeod's column on the cash handout gravy train for women who claim to have been "abused" in the past.

Only a woman could have got away with laying out the scandalous truth about this Pandora's box the ACC has opened. Most male commentators would not go anywhere near such a story for fear of incurring the wrath of Margaret Wilson and her ilk.

New Zealand is fast becoming a version of revolutionary China in the 1960s. Only politically correct material can be broadcast or published here now and anyone who does not toe the party line is treated as a "revisionist" or "capitalist roader".
