NZers are feeling safer in the streets at night.
Those scared of the Dark:
1992 36%
2004/5 30%6% of total are not scared of the dark any more but even better 20% of those who were scared of the dark have done away with their night light now.

Deborah it's not just one thesis.
This is the difference I have with the findings.
Point being there was a wave of Holocaust Denialism through academia at that time and it washed over these shores too.

100 mile diet is nolonger sustainable in NZ.
We now have to import wheat to make NZs bread. Change in land use (crops to dairy) has resulted in the staples of our diet now come from overseas. -
Ralston is famous for his pompous rants.
He was late for a flight I think on Ansett and missed it.
He came back with "Do you know who I am!"
Ballsie checkin used the PA to ask "Does anyone know who this man is he can't remember?"
Yeah I wasn't there but it's a good story and it seems to fit.
These tanties are often among 1st term MPs and the like.

Not wanting to cross swords Lucy but have a read of the thesis and the findings. It is a lot wider than that.

Locke is consistent in his human rights campaigns and anti-'free' trade is a Green policy.
That he gets more coverage over China isn't his fault.

Lucy I'm not saying Canty History are Holocaust Deniers. I am saying there were a group at that time who were influenced to this end and that they are a subgroup of the Uni. Here I differ from the findings on Haywards thesis but base it on the same evidence.
At that same time Antisemetic jokes at Uni diners were widely reported after a visiting academic got the hump with them over it.
But I'll finish now unless you want to address the logic of your 1st statement. That the thesis wasn't about the holocaust but then drew conclusions about the holocaust.

Lucy I disagree.
Hayward is a talented writer and held court there at the time, although with a clear agenda and questionable ethics in claiming Jewish Heritage, something he no-longer does. Notably prior to this he started a Zionist group then had a hissy fit and a 180degree change in his view of the world. Eatons very average thesis thanked him for all his support etc. And yes I've read both although not without being stopped at my 1st attempt by the Library staff and one endorsement had been removed from it.
Orange at best stayed on beyond his best days lets say.
Canty has its own real Nazi whos name escapes me. He lied about his past as a Nazi & lived happily at Canty Fine Arts painting his days away.There was a rise of Holocaust Deniers world wide in academia at the time - Butz. Irvine was not so roundly refuted back than and still sits on the Canty Library shelves today.
And Lucy you might want to look at the logic of a non-holocaust thesis coming to a conclusion about the holocaust.

Yamis - I signed up with an x-blackpower member.
I'm told that back in the day whole companies were Blackpower or Mongrel Mob. My old CO was x-Sgt-at-Arms for Epitaph Riders or Devils Henchmen & had the colours tattooed on his back.
The MP in the clip saying the military reflect the society is on the money.
Stop gangs in society and you'll get them out of the forces as well.Why would a 25yr old Sgt & father want to join another gang?

IBM was the issue - Corp America Profiteering from War. I was working from memory & you supplied the evidence and it doesn't stand up.
Retractions in Nature pretty much mean Hayes was wrong.
That Uni has a nasty Holocaust Denier - A. Butz. There was a wee buzz there a decade or so ago around Butz, although I don't know that Hayes was involved.
It rode the Holocaust Deniers wave that Canty got caught up in around that time.
