Hana Maipi-Clarke had her home broken into by a political stalker.
I recall VFF protesting outside Clarke's parents' home while Jacinda was on holiday.
I dont remember hearing about National's concerns back then??
Remember how Winston Peters harrassed non-binary, Green MP, Benjamin Doyle; questioning their sexuality; hinting at child abuse; encouraging the baying unhinged mob to threaten them online?
Well, Karma just came calling for Mr Peters...

Predictable politics is predictable.
"Luxon ... 'It's lovely his sentiment and his words last night, but... he voted against the bill that actually is designed to stop this stuff from happening.'"

this feels like an insanely wild abuse of power by an elected official on a private citizen

What a staggering arrogant and tone deaf thing to say.
The approximate status quo now is that parents let their adult-teens stay at home largely rent free while they start to establish their lives.
Now the expectation is that we support them moving around the country looking for jobs?!
wait it's possible to move from pilot studies to permanent implementation of basic income? please tell everyone except Andrew Yang about this

If you ban protesting βnear residencesβ youβre banning protesting outside of schools, MP offices (cause yes my local one is opposite suburban housing), and many other legitimate places. Heβs just such a bellend.
