P. Kelly is jolly worried! Apparently, the 'traditional NZ way of life” is being 'watered” down by 'socialist lefties” (The Weekend Sun, March 22).

I was just wondering - which traditional way of life are you referring to? Because I'm having a wild guess here and thinking it's not our most long-standing lifestyle traditions, established with the first arrival of Maori (approximately 1000 years ago).

Can I hazard a guess that it's a lovely, middle-class white Christian culture that you are referring to? Apparently, this traditional NZ way of life frowns upon the leader of our country wearing a headscarf at a Mosque. Don't worry, she probably won't convert and force everyone in the country to convert too, on fear of painful death - you know, like certain Christian English kings and queens have done historically, time and time again.

Poor P. Kelly. It must be very stressful living in NZ now that it's not the 1950s anymore. What to do?

You could always move back to the good old Motherland of the UK, because their current political agenda seems to be right up your alley.
