Bob Edlin: How local bodies invoke the Treaty to justify governance arrangements at odds with universal suffrage


Discriminatory

adjective

treating a person or group differently from and usually worse than other people, because of their race, gender, sexuality, etc.:

PoO checked out the dictionary meaning after reading of a councillor in Taumaranui who wanted to re-label her council’s Māori ward referendum as discriminatory, only to be advised the word was inappropriate because the poll must be conducted impartially.

What a bummer!
