Mr Watson also blamed Jews for the deaths of millions of people and said racist people were discriminated against.

funny though,25 years ago those comments(specifically the homophobic) were the exact reason that nz politicians didnt want to pass the homosexual law reform bill.
the conservative vote has always been out of step with the 99%(smirk).

lets check this forum in 2040 or so

The 19-year-old said he did not want to resign from the candidacy for the seat of Southern Downs and that it was forced on him.

He said when he was contacted by the ALP about his homophobic and racist remarks, he denied the allegations because he was not fully aware what they were.

He said he would have worded differently comments he posted four to five years ago, comparing homosexuals to paedophiles.

not defending the guy at all, considering that he admitted to posting on a racist website as recently as a couple months ago, but i found this bit interesting. they are using things that he posted as a 14/15 year old against him now? guess any prospective politicians better be careful what they post about as adolescents...
