You can read the full job description here

Recently we highlighted a situation where a builder was openly advertising for Maori or Pasifika applicants as his government construction contract stipulated that 50% of his workforce had to be Maori or Pasifika.

Here in New Zealand, we have an insane situation where on the one hand the Labour government want to take away our free speech in order to prevent any kind of discrimination against protected victim groups, but on the other hand, they are forcing their contractors and government departments to discriminate against job applicants from every other ethnic group in New Zealand in order to fill government-mandated Maori and Pasifika quotas.

The government have actually proposed a new crime called “incitement to discriminate” yet not only are these job applicant requirements inciting discrimination they blatantly ARE discrimination!

The BFD. Discrimination of the day.

With your help Discrimination of the Day will become a regular segment on The BFD. A reader drew our attention to this racist job advertisement and we will highlight any others that our readers send to us.

Let’s highlight the racism and discrimination inside New Zealand together because it is NOT OK!

There is NOTHING positive about discrimination.
