What do we do?

They're not happy. Would you be happy if the police had dropped in on you brandishing automatic weapons, threatening your family, including your children? Would you like to be accused of terrorism? Would you be pleased if your community had been singled out for this treatment because someone was suspected of planning terrorist activities? Is this racism? Is this how we Kiwis want our people treated? Why have they not been charged yet under the suppression of terrorism act? What is going on in our country? Are we being abused by the born to rule? What will we do to let them know that we will not be treated this way? Protest! Will our objections be taken seriously? Can we be heard in the current political climate? C'mon Helen, lead the country. Do the right thing (whatever it is).

they are not convinced

it seems that women [generally] are not convinced when it comes to rickard, schollum and shipton and their not guilty verdict. last night [international women's day] there were protests around the country. they want law changes. they want an end to sexual violence [do ya think?]. it is weird how half the population can still be treated as second class. they [women] are adamant about rickard not getting his job back. they are calling the situation an "abuse of power", which it is.
