Did anyone else not find it obvious RE the timing of the Auckland bus strikes on TPP signing day.
09:00 – 12:00. They think we are were all born yesterday
Democracy at work ,your right to a peaceful protest ? Sure if you don’t mind facing off with 1000 police officers and having your photo taken to be added to the GCSB data base and shared around the world with other govt. agencies.Good luck going through airport security next time.
Can someone post the photo from the Herald ,shows a crazy policewoman grabbing the throat of a defenceless young man,she’s choking him ,his arms are interlocked with other protestors and he represents zero threat,looks as though the crazy police officer actually had to lean forward to incite violence.
MY GOODNESS. Glad nobody got killed like it did in The Netherlands last year…or like everybody knows in The States. Be safe ya’ll !
I’m everybody or at least somebody,who was killed at a Tppa protest in the U.S ?
That’s the one Thanks,this is what happens when you care to disagree with the nanny state,a sign of things to come I fear.
FINALLY THEY HAVE AWAKENED…
WOW I’m impressed New Zealand. Perhaps this is the moment what everybody has been waiting for all those years ?! IT’S A REVOLUTION AND TIME TO TAKE ACTION . I do hope it works out for all kiwi’s you really deserve a better quality of life. Don’t even start about the government…
haha yeah he needs to back of one day anyway.. but he will go after the money for sure. It doesn’t seem to me he cares for the people much here.. Do you think it would do NZ anything good ?
Nothing will change in N.Z ,the protestors will be labeled as benefit bludging hippies ,everything will remain status quo,the TPPA will also waste millions of tax payer dollars and will never go anywhere .
