Council cocks up on boobs on bikes and makes a dick of itself


As I predicted the Auckland City Council has failed to stop the Boobs on Bikes parade. The Court tried to get a court injunction based on morals because its bylaw was toothless – but forgot that injunctions are based on law and the law states that topless women are not indecent - even in public.

There could have been no other decision. That is because it is the role of parliament to change the law, not the courts. Injunctions, as far as I am aware, don’t set a court precedent.

So Boobs on Bikes is going ahead. No permit is needed, never was. I'm sure the Council is going to hope tomorrow is a freezing cold, wet, windy day and the bikes get punctures.

If It is cold they could always cover up and go in cars, I suppose, but bras in cars just won't have the same appeal.
