Where have all our freedoms gone? So goes the next line in the song “…long time passing.” And according to many of our illustrious politicians, they agree with this tune!

Both Sir John Key and PM Jacinda Ardern are joining a global political trend, where they believe that ‘freedom’ is treated as a privilege to be granted or taken away by The State and not an inherent ‘right’ we possess as human beings.

Too many governments have come to regard ‘freedom’ as something they can give or take away. They want to use ‘freedom’ as a reward that they can dole out when they see fit.

When politicians openly talk of “granting limited freedoms”, it’s as clear an admission as any, that we are not free.

Hence the many massive protests taking place across the world stage at present. Millions of citizens, in many countries, have taken to the streets as it’s their only option left to express their feelings against increasingly excessive state control.

People are frustrated at the bare-faced stripping away of their basic human right of ‘the freedom to choose!’

This is reinforced by what Sir John Key publicly stated in his TV interview with Jack Tame on the Q+A programme on Sunday. He made this statement, “The only way to make them vaccinate is to take away liberties.”

If it weren’t written and published in black and white I’d think that I was dreaming!

To add more arrogant salt to the wound from Sir John Key, he adds a massive monetary bribe from our very own hard-to-come-by taxpayer money to Maori and Pacific Islanders! “Give Maori and Pacific health providers a financial incentive for every person they get vaccinated in the next six weeks.” Stop Press: Did the public of NZ just hear that?

Am I living in New Zealand, or am I now living in Colombia or Mexico? This is like something out of the movies we’ve all watched over the years.

Key went on to say that “fear and hope are not a strategy”. This is an admission from one ex-Prime Minister to the existing Prime Minister that fear tactics are not working anymore so we should bribe ‘em!

So this is the view of New Zealand’s political establishment on WE, THE PEOPLE’S FREEDOMS!

This is the reason why the good citizens of New Zealand have no alternative but to openly and peacefully protest that they “KEEP THEIR HANDS OFF OUR PERSONAL FREEDOMS”.

Join us this Saturday 02.10.21, as we peacefully stand for the protection of our Freedoms and Rights.
