Attended it yesterday. A wide range of people there. Several thousand maybe. Hard to tell. Old. Young. I looked at many of the banners. The protesters were mainly concerned like me about the insults and double dealings of the Government on the abuse of the the Treaty. And it is a Treaty that belongs to all of us.
I also saw posters about issues of Health, Disability, Education and the abuse of women right to equal pay for equal work. As a former migrant it’s sad to see NZ slipping downhill.
Luxon and Seymour are behind much of this chaos. Collins added to it with the Privileges Committee debacle. And so is the “woke” Peters. My understanding of “woke” is linked to the US when Black People in the 1930s talked about awareness of racial and social issues.
I saw people sitting around the statue of Richard Seddon. It’s worthwhile recalling that he became P.M. and women got the vote. But, he did not personally approve. However, like many politicians he saw he was unable to stop it.
Another political hypocrite.
