    Was the Sudanese man a Muslim? Everything “offends” them.

      He probably just recognises a soft-touch, white-guilt gravy train, Mara. And the maori woman finding the lawyer “guilty” is a joke, since so many of them are racists themselves.

    People who are failing to make the grade will start finding offence wherever they can to try and blame others for their own inadequacy. Usually it is along racial lines. I wonder why? Seems to be happening a lot at the universities lately. http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_scratch.gif OTOH employers of such people usually have their hands tied by the labour laws and have great difficulty in terminating their employment.

      Also, many of them “graduate” because the cost of failing them is now simply too high.

    Well, let them start up their own practice. Will they call it racial harassment if people shop elsewhere? If they don’t get hired they’ll need to start up their own practice.

    Maybe they’ll leave then, by the way you can’t go to WINZ unless you’ve been in this country for at least two years.

      Plenty of do-gooders to look after their financial needs for the interim: I’m thinking blue-haired church ladies who’d receive a kick in the **** from Christ himself (were he alive today).

      *Note I have personally witnessed the Salvation Army aiding the displacement and predation of white people.

        Also note: I’m aware the American churches get taxpayer $$ to import non-assimilables, can’t see why the kiwis wouldn’t either http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_unsure.gif

    Well, when I was church hunting, someone at an Anglican church was pushing for double the quota. That their should be double the amount of refugees. Next week I went to a church where the person at the top of amnesty, which wants to double the refugee quota was a member of the church.

    Dammit, I hate when you make me do this…

    “The case related to his former employee Bashir, who emigrated from Sudan aged 11, graduated with a law degree from Wellington’s Victoria University in 2013 and started working for Appleby in September 2013 as a law clerk”

    Immigrant or refugee? It makes a big difference

    “…that changed from June 2014 onwards, with Bashir citing several examples where Appleby and he clashed, ostensibly over Bashir’s written work.”

    I worked in legal practice in a former life. The thing you never, ever, ever do is ‘clash’ with the partner. Back in my day, the partner was ‘Mr. ‘ or ‘Mrs. ‘.

    “Appleby’s assertion that bilingualism affected Bashir’s written English by causing him to not use correct pluralisation “made no sense.”

    She pointed out that Bashir had attained a high level of academic literacy in English including an NCEA merit and a law degree from Victoria University.”

    I’m sure the disconnect is lost on the ERA, but those sentences taken together are far more an indictment on the NCEA system and Victoria Uni than Appleby.

    “His Arabic ethnicity and bilingualism did not prevent these milestone achievements. If anything his ethnic background appears to have spurred him to achieve”

    First, are Sudanese, Arabs? Not sure – asking for a friend. Also, I wonder if the racism registered. If his ‘ethnic background … spurred him to achieve’ does that mean people from other ‘ethnic backgrounds’ are ‘spurred’ to do the opposite? And is that racist, Ms Tetitaha?

    “…Mongols rampaging across Persia…” is factually and historically correct. How else does she explain the predominance of Khans in Pakistan and elsewhere (how did they get there from Mongolia?)

    “Bashir was made redundant at the end of 2014 in a restructuring due to business viability.”

    First, people are not made redundant, positions are. Secondly, if the business was struggling for survival, surely the herd gets culled from the weakest first?

    There’s too much stupid in the rest of the article for even me to bother with … back to beer.

    I agree with Gantt’s post above and would add that the ERA/Employment Court are vile places. In employment litigation there is always an underlying cause of action: “I was humiliated.” If you say it loud enough you win. The rules of evidence rarely apply and the mediators/Judges are often incapable of hearing both sides. As the applicant gets the first opportunity to address the Hearing it is his/her bleating which has the profound effect on the outcome. For more than 20 years I have attended these one-sided travesties and generally lose as I am particular in acting solely for employers.

      A whole lot of people nowadays see the courts as a weapon, not as the way to justice.
      Justice itself has been corrupted and devalued in the service of social objectives. http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_sad.gif

        You’re right, the employment law path is ALL about social objectives; hence employers get stung on very minor and incidental breaches of the absurd procedures they are required to observe when dealing with staff.
