Geneticist Professor Alan Bittles, of the Centre of Comparative Genomics at Murdoch University in Western Australia, was quoted saying first-cousin marriage could become more prevalent in New Zealand and Australia if immigration from Muslim countries increased (KMM-CODER COMMENT). "Although the numbers of people gaining residency from Muslim dominated countries has gone down, there are an estimated 30,000 followers of Islam in New Zealand. Federation of Islamic Associations of New Zealand (FIANZ) president Javed Khan said the prevalence of first cousin marriage varied between different Muslim groups.

"Another claim we often hear is that the New Zealand model is the best legal approach to protecting the safety, rights and health of people who sell sex – do you agree with this claim? No. Not even slightly. Not at all. There’s no safety in prostitution and especially not when buyers and pimps are decriminalised so you can’t make complaints because the police will do nothing. Prostitution involves the sale of human rights that are supposed to be inalienable – the right to not endure torture or sexual harassment, abuse, violence and rape; the right to free expression and to fair and favourable work conditions. All of these are...more

"I don’t think we do any better. No one ever asks anyone in prostitution if they’re there by choice. They just tell us that we are. I don’t think there’s any investigation into prostitution in New Zealand because it’s been decriminalised so officials can wash their hands of it. Germany will have more trafficking of women from overseas simply because it’s a larger country with land borders with other nations while New Zealand is a small island at the bottom of the world, completely isolated, and so New Zealand mostly traffics its own citizens into prostitution. A lot of the women who are being trafficked don’t know that that is...more

"'The fully decriminalised system that was adopted in New Zealand in 2003 is held up by many people in the UK as the best system.' The full decriminalisation model decriminalises people bought in prostitution and also decriminalises the buyers and pimps, and any kind of profiteering. It isn’t a regulated system like legalisation might be – it’s more of a ‘turn the other way’ system. It’s easy to get a brothel license – you just have to fill out a brief form." (para 7-8).
