News, Sterilise underclass to stop child abuse - Michael Laws.
Wanganui Mayor Michael Laws says giving the "underclass" money to be sterilised will address our child abuse problem.
Critics last night labelled the suggestion "totalitarian", "draconian" and "reprehensible", and questioned his appropriateness as a city leader.

Who is to say that it is always the underclass that abuse children?
The only thing I have noted is that they tend to have more children than those from more educated backgrounds, which perpetuates the cycle of those living in poor conditions.
Sterlisation as birth control is ok, but not for this purpose.

Michael Laws must be the biggest idiot (to put it nicely since I'd probaly get banned for saying what me and alot of NZ think about him) to be mayor or any other sort of political figure in New Zealand.

Here is his rebuttal, indicating that the story is inacurate:
