    It's not that long ago that women in NZ wouldn't go out without a scarf on - for whatever reason.
    Now it has become a banner for the ignorant.

    Despicable and repugnant comment.

    What is wrong with anyone showing their faith openly and appealing to their Christian faith value voters?

    Seems like Labourites like you are eager to shout down Christian values but will happily keep your mouth shut about hypocritical values like Cindy (courting Muslim votes) wearing the hijab to support oppression of Muslim women in Iran etc.

    Here's a history for you
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headscarf
    I have seen this via TV in period drama from the late 1800's.
    Also Hilda Ogden on Coro St - always wore a scarf.

    Nothing wrong with showing faith openly - as a political move it was transparent (one of her minders reportedly asked a church leader if the media could come in).
    Just like she has played the Samoan card with Hubby in the 2nd debate and again last night saying Jacinda was 'disrespecting' Samoa when she called out Judith's lie.

    We have had a discussion on Hijab's before and you still won't admit you were wrong.

    Not that long ago?

    You mean a long time ago, right?

    Subjective - whatever you want!
    I do remember a lot of my Mum's friends coming around with a scarf on in the 60's.

    My bad - you are correct and I am only partly correct about France & Turkey banning the hijab.

    And that wasn't a good look, either!

    I remember Hilda Ogden from the 80’s. Didn’t she wear curlers and a scarf?

    I have seen photos from the 60’s and 70’s with lots of women wearing head scarves. Who could forget Tippi driving her Aston Martin in The Birds!

    So scarves must have been reasonably popular from the glamorous to the gritty.
