As I write, the Boobs on Bikes parade is going down Lambton Quay, to the delight of crowds outside. A friend’s txt said, “Lambton Quay’s more crowded than a santa parade!”
And yet – there is no protest. No Christians marching up to their MPs. No religious leaders standing out decrying this very visible godless parade.
New Zealand – meet Apathy – oh! Sorry! You’re already well-acquainted.
* Her 2002 quote - at a state banquet for the Queen - that New Zealand is now a secular nation has been disputed elsewhere.
