Tourist protests road workers' wolf-whistles... by stripping

22/05/2008 12:25:00 PM.  | NZPA
An Israeli tourist tired of wolf whistles from road workers in New Zealand stripped off her clothes in a show of defiance, police say.

The woman was about to use an ATM in the main street of Kerikeri, in the far north of the country, when the men whistled, the New Zealand Press Association reported.

She calmly stripped off, then used the cash machine, before getting dressed and walking away.

The woman told police she did not take too kindly to the whistling from the men repairing the road.

"She said she had thought 'bugger them, I'll show them what I've got'," Police Sergeant Peter Masters told NZPA.

"She gave the explanation that she had been ... pestered by New Zealand men. She's not an unattractive looking lady," Masters said.

"She was taken back to the police station and spoken to and told that was inappropriate in New Zealand."

I think her protest should be allowable within the bounds of free speech. I would like to discuss advancing this case with her.

Yeah, I believe that her mode of protest would not be acceptable to normal standard of conduct ein every where, though it still could be understood with all of its conditional frustration. Godd advice can bring them back to good practice!
