Media Release: 'Kill more for less' coming soon to Te Papa
From: tepapa.tk
Date: 29 September 2006

There will be an arms sale on the streets of Wellington on Saturday to
promote the upcoming Weapons conference due to happen at Te Papa on 17 and
18 October. The theme of this year's conference is 'Kill more for less'.

Arms salespeople will be handing out coupons redeemable at Te Papa for one
New Zealand made hand grenade during the conference.

Weapons saleswoman Daisy Chain said of the conference, 'It is a great
opportunity for people to get in on the lucrative international arms
trade. There will be representatives from 200 of the world's largest
weapons manufacturers at the conference - many of them with valuable
experience in war profiteering in Iraq and Afghanistan.'

'Te Papa is a great venue for the weapons conference. We want to make it
possible for everyone to committ war crimes, torture, and genocide. What
better way to do this than through the nation's preeminent cultural
institution?'

'This is the fourth year that Te Papa is hosting the conference. We are
grateful that the Te Papa management team and the Labour Government have
been so supportive of a home-grown weapons industry. War is great for
business, after all!'
