Thank you Goldy

Thank You Goldy - Hate Speech Laws Dropped!

New Zealand Minister of Justice Paul Goldsmith has instructed the Law Commission to stop all work on hate speech laws. These reforms were a fool's errand from the start, and this is a decision worth celebrating. Sign our public letter now.

Dear Minister,

Since June 2021, tens of thousands of Kiwis have insisted that the proposed hate speech laws were dropped.

Hate speech laws are subjective and dangerous. Censorship pushes ideas underground to fester, and it's far safer to have them in broad daylight for debate and reason to take hold. Everyone has their own definition of what 'hate speech' means; the proposed law would have been a disaster for all Kiwis.

We spoke. You listened. Thank you.

Thank you for upholding free speech in New Zealand.

Thank you for respecting democracy.

Thank you for leaving room for healthy discussion, debate, and reason.

New Zealand will be better for it.

So pleased you stopped all work on hate speech

I my opinion it was a recipe for disaster. We need to be able to voice an opinion. So that everyone has as say on everything. This is a big win for democracy

Kudos to you 😊

.The UN, WEF AND WHO ARE IN COLLUSION TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD! To kill off farms, give artificial food, not good nutritional food and we have to fight back against these evil oligards who are intent on destroying everything that is good and honourable, Join Expose who are uncovering their plots! People Power gets things done and the fight is on!
