Libertarianz May Day Presence Pathetic - Much Like Them

Anti-Libertarianz Front

The Loony libertarianz must have disappointed that only three people showed up to support them. This isn't suprising since they are so far over to the loony right wing spectrum of politics, they would make Richard Prebble cringe.

One anti-capitalist protestor summed it up nicely when they said:

The Loony libertarianz are parasites, they dont have the ability or the mass apeal to organise their own demos that they have to leach on to others. These nutters have no shame. They have the integrity and diversity of toejam.

Suffrage 125: NZ A Trailblazer For Women

“We acknowledge the work of Kate Sheppard, Meri Te Tai Mangakāhia, and all of the suffragists who tirelessly campaigned for the vote. We also acknowledge the men who supported the cause and voted for the Bill to pass.

“Today we also need to ask each other: how we can continue to make our country a fairer and better place to continue the legacy of the suffragists.

“Aotearoa New Zealand has a female Prime Minister, we have women in cabinet. And I’m here as Acting Minister because the Minister for Women Julie Anne Genter is on maternity leave. New Zealand is a good place to be a woman!” More>>
