From what I read that Caroline venue (which is near my work and is kind of out of the way of the bulk of the entrainment sector, I've never been there though) isn't saying that the band needs to have a female member but have a non male perform with them for just one song which is much more reasonable and less discriminatory than suggested.

It's not even this strict, they just want to program a reasonable number of non-male performers across an entire lineup, so there are definitely still full male bands playing at Caroline.

I think this is an excellent policy designed to increase the number of wahine performing at our venues in the city.

BATS have also programmed predominantly female comics for the Comedy Festival which is even more awesome.

A Wellington rock band have been refused a gig at an indie venue because they don't feature "at least one non-male".

Rory McDonald, 17, said Caroline, in Manners St in the central city, told him his four-piece alt-metal band Lucifer Gunne did not fit the venue's diversity quota.
