Trotskyist, Radical Maori Lawyer, American Indian Activist, Address Rotorua Rally

From Socialist Worker's UnityBlog


Flags, drums, banners and a passionate flow of over 700 kaumatua, pakeke, rangatahi and tamariki marched peacefully against the police anti-terror raids which began 15 October.


The procession started at the mall end of Rotorua's city centre at 12.15pm and marched down Tutanakai Street to City Focus where several speakers touched upon the reasons behind the raids and importance of standing firm in support of civil liberties and indigenous rights. Among those who spoke were lawyer Annette Sykes, principal and EBOP Okurei Maori councillor, Hawea Vercoe, veteran activist Bernie Hornfeck and an indigenous brother from North America (who has a Tuhoe wife and children).

    "Kia Ora For That !" is all I say....

    If the so-called "Forces Of Good" are gonna put on a "circus" they're gonna attract performers.

    Is it only OK for Helen and Rodney and The Nose to put on a performance - is it ???

    Get Off !

    Damn ! I've been getting some very "libertarian" urges/surges lately Trev. What is happening to this fulla I wonder....must be the change of weather.

    Nasty full moon out there tonite.

    E noho ra !
