Hmm, facts about New Zealand on You Tube. The size of the land area big enough to compare to UK was a bit surprising. So was the presenter pointing out that NZ was the last piece of global territory to be settled. ( I suppose that Antarctica is merely ‘occupied’ and the Moon has only been visited.) But too dull for me to watch all 7 minutes.
More boredom. Do i really have to fill in my name and email address every time i post on your blog? Can’t you streamline it for repeat offenders? I’m not on Facebook because it chews up too much of my time. By the way, congratulations on being Dunedin’s only local government rep who did not appear to shun Posey Parker. The thing about ‘free speech’ is that you tolerate people you DON’T agree with. There’s no toleration involved when the speakers are saying something you agree with. Anyway, I agree with Posey Parker – I define ‘women’ as people who are born that way and I think she does too. Other people can define women however they like. And I expect them to give the same freedom to me. This definition only becomes a problem when the law or other public authority is involved. For example who goes to a women’s prison. Or should our society just have kind of co-ed prisons?

Below is a short noteworthy commentary by an esteemed author ( not named )
I NEVER CARED NEW ZEALAND
I believe more and more people are starting to feel this way.
I never cared if you were ‘gay’ or whatever acronym you chose to call yourself, until you started shoving it down my throat.
I never cared what colour you were, until you started blaming me for your problems and have taken over the media with your Public Interest Journalism Propaganda Fund.
I never cared about your political affiliation, until you started to condemn me for mine.
I never cared where you were from in this great country, until you began condemning people based on where they were born and the history that makes them who they are.
I have never cared if you were well off or poor because I’ve been both, until you started calling me names for working hard and bettering myself.
I’ve never cared if your beliefs are different than mine, until you said my beliefs are wrong.
Now…I care. I’ve given all the tolerance I have to give.
This is no longer my problem. It’s your problem.
You can still fix it. It’s not too late. But it needs to be soon. I’m a very patient person. But I’m out of patience.
There are literally thousands of people just like me that are sick of all your Aotearoa ethnic crap!!
I’ve always cared about life, and all lives, but now you try to force the notion on me and my other fellow citizens & patriots that certain lives matter more than others.
You protest and we pander to you as the spoiled brats that you have become.
\We are done caring about your artificially created language and fabricated history of convenience.
Your ethnic movement has become a radical, out-of-control bunch of thugs, criminals and anarchists who are destroying our country.
You don’t have the right to enjoy New Zealand’s freedoms if you are trying to take that right away from other New Zealanders.
We have had enough!
So, remember New Zealanders….it is your vote that will count.
What party or parties will have policy that will change the current division and separatism?

Subject: I never cared, New Zealand, until now.
