You're the one saying "its easy to read between the lines". I'd agree. Saying "don't hit a woman because they bruise easily" may have been acceptable behaviour 40 years ago, it's not now.
You can read between the lines and believe it's because of New Zealand (one of the most liberal countries on the planet) trying to attract Saudi immigrants all you want, but if there's anything deeper than the council statement, it seems far more likely it's a grumpy old man stuck in his ways who refuses to change and thus is no longer wanted
