As in other countries, the transgender movement in New Zealand is not a grassroots organisation but an increasingly radicalised campaign led by progressive elites.

As images of Auckland’s violent treatment of Posie Parker (Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull) continue to circulate on major international news channels and social media platforms, more details are emerging of the links between New Zealand’s political and media elite and the aggressive mob which congregated in Albert Park last Saturday morning.

The scene had been set the week prior when Immigration Minister Michael Wood condemned Parker for “incorrect worldviews”. He was joined by Cabinet colleagues Grant Robertson and Kiri Allan, who both expressed their disdain for Parker.

Well of course they have disdain for Posie Parker. She's married and a mother of four - in other words, she's normal. And Robertson and Allan are both (to use their own peculiar language) "queer". 

“From my (queer - ed) perspective, I find her views and statements abhorrent,” Robertson said.

“Her bigotry is dangerous and disingenuous. As a country, we need to keep our trans community close and support them through this time. The hateful language ...

What "hateful language" did Parker use? Advocating for women's-only loos and women's-only sports?

... is the same that was directed at gays and lesbians in years gone by. It’s the same misinformation and lies that destroyed lives and broke apart families. I for one will never let that rhetoric take hold. We must stand together against bigotry and transphobia.”

And this madman, Robertson, is Deputy Prime Minister. It's simply intolerable. It can't go on. Please God.

Allan said: “Nope to any person that tries to censor anyone else’s identity - race, sexuality, class, gender - just nope.

Race, sexuality and gender, Ms Allan, are simply facts. Facts can't be "censored".

 

“Let’s do what we do, Aotearoa ...

 Who's she talking to? Who or what is "Aotearoa"?

... - stand up, make some noise and support our trans whānau by showing up and drowning out any bigotry that seeks to divide and hurt our whānau.”

That's rich. Such a classic example of the pot calling the kettle black. Except that the kettle wasn't black.

At the same time, one of the organisers of Saturday’s counter-protest, Rainbow community leader Shaneel Lal, told TVNZ’s Breakfast show allowing someone like Keen to enter the country was normalising the hatred towards queer people.

It seems queer people are hyper-sensitive to a degree. To such a degree in fact, that they may require counselling. As in exorcism.  

“Queer hatred is at an all-time high.

Although it's not "hatred". Maybe the reason for Lal's complaint is that queer visibility is at "an all-time high". Queers have a genius for self-publicity.

So when you bring in someone like Posie Parker into our country, what she does is that it normalizes the hatred towards queer people and it emboldens people to act on their hate speech,” Lal said.

Could Lal, or Allan, or Robertson care to give an example of "hatred towards queer people" and/or acting "on their hate speech"? 

“We cannot ensure the safety of queer people at that event, having seen how that event played out in Melbourne.”

Neo-Nazis in Melbourne where the salute is now banned (which will solve everything) 

What "played out" in Melbourne was the appearance of neo-Nazis, rent-a-rabble oddities, who very likely were incentivised to turn up so that the MSM could impute to Parker guilt by association.   

Lal is a political activist and Herald columnist who gained prominence by spearheading the ban of conversion therapy last year. It is law so radical that it has the potential to criminalise parents if they stop their children from taking puberty blockers. Currently, Lal is shortlisted for the Kiwibank New Zealander of the Year.

New Zealanders who do not bank with Kiwibank will be breathing a sigh of relief. Kiwis who do and now decide to take their funds elsewhere can congratulate themselves.

Lal has established impressive political connections over the last five years. In 2018 he was photographed with the now Prime Minister Chris Hipkins.

Last year Lal joined a group of Green Party MPs outside Parliament; several of that group were in the midst of the baying mob last Saturday.

In fact it’s believed that Green Party mailing lists were used to mobilize their supporters to turn out to counter-protest the ‘Let Women Speak’ events on Saturday and Sunday.

 

Wellington Mayor and Green Party member Tory Whanau said Parker would likely receive the same treatment in Wellington as she received in Auckland, and encouraged Wellingtonians to turn up at the counter-protest.

And they did - even though, Parker having shaken the dust of Auckland off her sandals so to speak, there was absolutely nothing to protest. Have these people not got anything better to do? 

Another one of the organisers of Saturday’s counter-protest, was Max Tweedie, the outgoing executive director of Auckland Pride. Tweedie started his career in politics as co-leader of the Greens’ youth wing and deputy campaign manager for Green Party MP Jan Logie.

Funny how the same names keep cropping up. All distinguished for their support of the world's most heinous legislation against unborn children - New Zealand's Abortion Law Act, passed in March 2020. 

Earlier this year, Tweedie described his role as “a political job of some sorts”.

Tweedie has previously explained that since organisations like Rainbow Youth and InsideOut have siloed tasks, or are government-funded, they tend to be reluctant to speak out on hot-button issues. And so the media would come to him instead, “And when producers and journalists have your number, they keep calling you.”

But despite this apparent reluctance to become involved in ‘hot-button issues’, Auckland Pride, Gender Minorities Aotearoa and InsideOut Kōaro made an application to the Wellington High Court on Friday “in the pursuit of their charitable purposes which, amongst other things, are to celebrate and advocate for the rainbow and takatāpui communities in New Zealand.” Their aim was to prevent Parker from entering the country.

These groups receive funding from a number of sources. In the case of Auckland Pride, it receives support from Auckland Council and funding from Foundation North (trusteeships of which have been awarded to active Labour Party members such as Romy Udanga, and previously, to Naisi Chen (now a Labour Party List MP)

InsideOut Kōaro also received funding from Foundation North, Health New Zealand and the Ministry of Youth.

Gender Minorities Aotearoa is funded in part by the Wellington City Council and the Ministry of Health.

It seems highly questionable for central and local government bodies to be funding groups who quite clearly hold views which are at the extreme end of the spectrum on some issues and who have now demonstrated that they will use force if all other avenues fail.

So intolerant are these groups of the free speech rights of others that Parker could not even utter a single word from the Band Rotunda on Saturday morning before the mob overran the event.

In fact no sooner had Parker stepped foot inside the Rotunda than was she doused with tomato juice by transgender activist Eli Rubashkyn.

The significance of tomato juice lies in the fact that it symbolises a particularly vile and disgusting male-on-female abuse. 

Like Tweedie and Lal, Rubashkyn is a politically-connected activist who has been photographed with former Prime Minister Ardern. Rubashkyn has also attended the United Nations to Honour Women for Women’s Month.

Rubashkyn, assigned male gender at birth, honours the UN's "Women for Women's Month"? Que? How does that work? 

Despite the violence and global condemnation, New Zealand’s leaders remain totally captive to their radical gender ideology in the aftermath of the event.

Indeed, Prime Minister Hipkins stated yesterday that he would have been proud to be at the counter-protest in Auckland on Saturday despite the violence against women.

That simply takes the cake. Head Prefect Hipkins publicly associating himself with the public abuse of a woman who in a sense was representing all normal women. He has written himself off. Completely.  

Perversely, New Zealand’s Human Rights Commissioner, Paul Hunt, attended the Wellington rally the following day, “because I wanted to demonstrate support for trans friends, colleagues and communities.”

New Zealand gets more and more like Alice in Wonderland every day. The Human Rights Commissioner, so-called, supporting people who oppose rights for women.  

Although Hunt enjoyed the festive atmosphere in Wellington as activists revelled in Parker's ejection from the country he did apportion some blame for Auckland to the police.

We should think so. 

Yesterday he wrote, “The state had a human rights responsibility to make arrangements for Keen-Minshull to speak without being assaulted, intimidated or shouted down. That did not happen.”

But with so much senior political support behind the ruckus, the police were never going to properly discharge their duties. Under the leadership of an insipid and overpromoted Commissioner, the police have become overly politicised and captive to woke ideology.

The police should not be "politicised" at all. 

It must be truly demoralizing to be the rank and file when they have been so badly let down by their leadership and a series of consistently substandard ministers.

The National parties police spokesperson, Mark Mitchell, is calling for “a serious review” into why police failed so badly on Saturday.

Thank God, National's found an independent voice on SOMETHING. 

The group Speak Up For Women has laid a complaint with the Independent Police Conduct Authority saying that the police should have done more to stop transgender activists from getting near Parker.

 

Auckland City District Commander, Inspector Grant Tetzlaff on Monday gave a totally incoherent explanation of the events that unfolded on Saturday that was almost entirely detached from reality.

He said, without any hint of irony, that it is the “role of police at events like these to keep the peace, and uphold the law, while recognising the lawful right to protest”.

“As soon as it became clear there was a potential safety risk to the Albert Park event speaker, she was escorted from the area by police staff,” he said.

One can only assume that Mr Plod (as indeed he is traditionally characterised) is extremely slow on the uptake. Or he lies in his teeth. 

Despite an elderly lady being punched repeatedly in the face by a young male activist in broad daylight, Tetzlaff confirmed that police did not make any arrests on the day.

This Labour government may not be able to organise housing or education or health or much else, but it can organise an unruly mob within days if it’s necessary to defend its radical gender ideology and prevent people from gathering in the corner of a small Auckland park to discuss women’s issues.

And that, maybe, is the most shocking element to this outrage. This was in all respects a politically sanctioned and organised mob. Free speech was silenced, and a speaker ejected from the country, by political violence. In New Zealand. Catherine Gow, NZ Observer (redacted).
