Ay, Brian? APN has (to be fair) improved the count of folks without penises, but the blogosphere isn't the only place where the 'mainstream' is white, middle-class, middle-aged and male. *ahem* What a shame this fabulous diversity is not represented in the editorial/management of the New Zealand Herald - or its proprietor APN.

I think that my small post previously, pointing out that as a rural worker and dweller I, and indeed my partner, (no, not married or'unionised!') are in a minority in NZ. I recall reading very recently that 85% of NZers now dwell in urbanised areas. According to TV One's normal show I am "nearly normal" and the test the nation results put me well above average in all demographics. So hey, this old whitey is a minority in her own country.
