Israeli Tourist Strips Naked For Money

Wellington, New Zealand, An Israeli tourist who felt harassed when New Zealand road workers whistled at her stripped naked in response.

Workmen in the small town of Kerikeri were repairing the main street when the young woman who was using an ATM took offense at their attention.

She calmly stripped bare causing the work and the whistling to stop and then put her clothes on and walked away.

Sgt. Peter Masters said the woman told police she didn't take kindly to the men's wolf-whistles."She said she had thought `... I'll show them what I've got,' " as the men whistled at her, he said.

"She gave the explanation that she had been ... pestered by New Zealand men who are all pigs . She's not an unattractive-looking lady I'd do her, " he said.

The sergeant has reviewed the ATM surveillance cameras closely.

"She was taken back to the police station and spoken to and told that was inappropriate (behaviour) in New Zealand," he added.

The workmen who did behave appropriately as stated in the U.N. labour charter for sexual harassment rights for workers who see women passing by were given pats on the back for making the woman strip off.

John Thomas from the New Zealand Work Relations Board said: "These men are a credit to the nation, true ambassadors who give hope to workers everywhere."

The trouble making tourist is to leave New Zealand soon.
