Meaningless gestures

What is it with the and meaningless gestures. They think banning will solve child abuse, and photo ops of MPs in Hoodies will do something meaningful for :

Earlier, Opposition parties were not invited to a youth event hosted by Government ministers, and Ms Bennett said Youth Week was clearly not a “truly cross-party” initiative.

She said she was not acting under National Party orders, but had not seen the point of promoting a Labour Government thing.

“There are bigger issues for youth out there, and me fronting up and wearing a hoodie is not what I think will fix any of the biggest issues for youth.”

The no-show drew a retort from Green MP Metiria Turei, who said it showed “an inherent disrespect for young people”.

For fuck's sake, I doubt a single young person in the country could be found who gives a flying fuck about whether an MP poses for a opportunity in a hoodie, and that doing so empowers them or whatever rationale there is.
