Demo4Democracy

I've noticed with concern in recent months how often the so-called "democratic process" has been undermined in NZ by the current government.  So I was heartened to see that a "Demo4Democracy" was being organised in towns and cities around the country. I marched with several hundred other Aucklanders on Sunday 1st September. Below are some photos that give you an idea of the sort of issues that are of concern to many different groups of New Zealanders. The 11 year old boy pictured gave an impressive and well researched speech about food quality, Monsanto, GM and GMO issues and had everyone listening in complete silence! One of the most concerning issues, in my view, is the TPPA (Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement) deal being orchestrated in secret. If you are not yet aware of this see this site.
