Default March was Great

Well there were a lot of people there, but there certainly "could" or "should" have been more. The Media are completely down palying the whole thing. One News tried to say people marching had so many different agendas and implied that it wasn't even for democracy. The mere fact that there were several agendas being represented was a fantastic display of "democracy" in its self. All agendas i saw, were all related to failing democracy in one way or another.

The Media are so biased in this country. I can't be bothered listening to what they say anymore. The NZ Herald made a poor attempt to boycott it aswell by mispublishing the event name on Friday. And after several complaints (including one from myself) they gave some feeble excuse, it was a mistake made during editing.

NZ'ers need to wake up. We have a "do nothing" society. And that needs to change.

Our signs were
"WARNING - POLICE STATE"
and the Other Said
"DEMOCRACY NOT DICTATORSHIP ........ Change the Locks on Key"
We had a lot of people come up and talk to us about our signs. The Police State sign got a lot of people taking photos and talking to us about it thats for sure. All of whom were concerned that we were loosing our rights, and a police state could be on the cards.

I find it so hard to fathom that the Media can take such a biased stance on the issue. After 3 Major Referendum in this Country with overwhelming outcomes, the government refeuses to listen to its citizens. How can that be interpreted any other way, other than then government thinks it knows "better" than its citizens, and will "dictate" to us what is best.

Im sure this will Not be the END...... To Be Continued
