Barrie Davis: Global Women

An article in the Sunday Star-Times, “Global Women adds Treaty bill to heavy workload” by Dita De Boni, 29 September (here), makes two specious claims which I shall critique. I will first show that Global Women is irrational and second that it is mistaken in its two main claims.

The article introduces Global Women as a group of influential and high powered political and business women representing diversity and inclusion in New Zealand. They had a hui at Waitangi in June of this year and according to the article “they came away from the event more determined than ever to f... shit up”. Let’s take a peek at how they intend to do that.
