Aroha not Hōhā: Hana’s speech This speech was delivered by Hana at the Arohā not Hōhā rally in Ōtautahi on 16 September 2023, and is reproduced here with permission.

"The racist rhetoric that Mr Batchelor and the Stop Co-Governance tour are contributing to, is an environment where racists are emboldened to write the n-word on Māori party signs and mayors attempt to eradicate Te Reo Māori."

Aroha not Hōhā: Hana’s speech
antifascistaotearoa.com/2023/09/20/a...

Julian Batchelor and the curse of the Stop Co-Governance street marches Julian Batchelor has announced three Stop Co-Governance street marches in Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland.

"Batchelor exists on the surface of an insidious and interconnected web ... who are working to prevent Māori from regaining any degree of power to decide their own futures."
