Read the experiences relayed above of what those rallies felt like. Not "peaceful" in short.

this real chance to build something fantastic in Christchurch is not missed
Would be a great tribute to your dad and others who cared about doing it right. Thoughts with you and yours.

comparing Helen Clark to Hitler, Stalin or Robert Mugabe
Yeah cos she was renowned for behaving just like those guys. Well, she was a woman in power, that's close enough for the small-willied amongst us, I guess.

So appropriate, that black and white should be their colours, given that that's how they see the world.
You can imagine the thought process from the soldiers o Density - "That black didn't go down so well with the public and media; what colour shall we try for our next raised-fist mass tribute?"

Apologies if this has already been linked. Idiot/Savant on why Destiny missed out on Whanau Ora funding.
Earlier in the week, Destiny Church (most famous for organising the "Nuremberg rally" against the Civil Union Act in 2004) complained about being "discriminated against" due to not receiving more government funding.
Today, the Herald reveals the true problem: they didn't meet the criteria, because they couldn't find other agencies to partner with to deliver services. And the reason they couldn't find other agencies to partner with? Because no-one wants to work with bigots.
Cry me a river. This isn't "discrimination", its just desserts. It is also, I should add, those other agencies ensuring that their service delivery complies with the Human Rights Act - something that simply can't be guaranteed if Destiny is involved.

Deciding that that sort of support is "too expensive" and then farming it out to private organisations seems to me to be a failure in moral leadership
Yet you can expect that to be official government policy after the election - unless enough people vote otherwise.
