From Stuff: Police door knock ‘known activists’ ahead of Trans-Pacific Partnership Protests
Last year I went down to the Octagon in Dunedin for a protest in support of health. It turned out to be a small group, and I nearly walked by without stopping. As there were people still joining I stepped up into the group. I was glad that I did. The group was made up of mental health patients and their supporters. They were a group of people who needed to be heard or risk being crushed under an unresponsive system. If I heard their stories then I was glad to do so. The demonstration had been organised by the person in the Stuff article. I am unhappy to read that they have been visited by the police to cause intimidation.
End of a brighter note, from Radio New Zealand Concert: The Circumstances of Beethoven’s Symphonies. Now I want to read more about Beethoven.
