People commenting I should go down and talk to the protestors at Parliament. Why would I meet with conspiracy dwellers, right wing racists and white supremacists? Hold up ... for real? Oh and why would I risk my whakapapa just to get COVID from those huas? #endtheprotest

Just wanted to say: Aotearoa / NZ is not a company & it’s not run by a board. We are country and in it we have people. A unique and awesome people - Yes we have our mad old uncles who. We aren’t your shareholders. We are voters. We aren’t your customers . We are citizens.
