Violence instead of Free Speech in NZ. British gender activist Posie Parker has left New Zealand, calling it the ‘worst place for women she has ever visited’. She left her rally at Albert Park in Auckland on Saturday without speaking, after being overwhelmed by thousands of heckling counter-protesters who broke the barriers, doused her with tomato juice, and the mob then hounding the event out of a public space. It was a sad day for free speech, and an atrocious day for women who simply want to stand up for their rights. We talk to free speech advocate and supporter of Speak Up For Women Ani O’Brien who was at the event at Albert Park.
