An article was published today in the NZ Sunday Star Times. It’s an opinion piece by former NZ Police and Member of Parliament, Ross Meurant.
And it’s brilliant. But before we get to it, I want to share a wee story.
I remember when I got arrested as an activist, explaining the ridiculousness of arresting [...]
Don’t forget to make yourself heard on Saturday. If there’s nothing on in your area, organise something!
I’m baking, stitching and painting!
Everywhere: Any letters emailed to lettersforprisoners[at]riseup[dot]net will printed out and distributed to arrestees. Obviously don’t write anything that could negatively impact on you or anyone else! If you can help with processing these letters, [...]
Goodness there’s so much happening in support of those arrested last Monday, it’s just awesome to see. Go over to Aotearoa Indymedia and see all the reports from recent demos. Quite a lot of video too which is nice (cause I can see my friends and give them virtual cuddles!). And there’s [...]

He will be sadly missed.

The whole key word ad matching thing often does bad things to government depts. I remember once seeing an ad for the IRD (tax dept) which was matched to an article about a massive IRD stuff up.
And if I was in [...]
This one going out to the satire laws

Not content just calling John Howard a racist bastard Hone Harawira has just nipped up to Alice Springs to give a bit of solidarity to the mob up there. He was over here on the Justice and Electoral Select Committee exchange and took the opportunity to wag for a bit of good ol fashion [...]
So further to the tent embassy outside the National Party conference, there was a nice street party to welcome Alexander Downer to Aotearoa.
It was like “Gidday mate (you racist prick)”
It rained, but that didn’t stop the fun.
To be considerate to the protesters the media was banned from the speech so the protest made the news [...]
