5,000,000 Times A Year,

A second free-love advocate was Mr Roberts. He came up with some alarming statistics. We should have free love, he said, because "everyone is having it anyway." By some ingenious formula he concluded that New Zealanders sin some 5,000,000 times per annum outside the married. He then quoted the divorce rate for 1957 proving, he said, that marriage was undesirable. "It would appear," he continued, "that the people (practising free love) exceed in numbers those playing rugby football. Furthermore, the sport is multiracial!"

Finally, the affffirmative submitted that marriage is just a farce. In fact, a legal fiction. Surely this moral-humbug ought to be removed. For the sake of consistency it is obvious that free love must replace marriage.
