1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,079
Speaker 1: Turns out that people who want to shut other people

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: up just do not learn from history, do they. I

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,959
Speaker 1: consider myself to be reasonably well informed, not because I'm

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: a particularly smart person, just because I have to be

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: for my job. I read the newspapers every day, I

6
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: have to listen to the radio, so I think I've

7
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: got a reasonably good idea of what's going on in

8
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: the country at any point in time. But I'm completely

9
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: forgotten that Candace Owens was coming to New Zealand until

10
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: this week, mainly thanks to Young Labor. So they're trying

11
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: to stop her from coming to New Zealand, aren't they.

12
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,959
Speaker 1: They've published an open letter urging the government to ban her,

13
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: just like Australia did yesterday, which only served to remind

14
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: me I should probably go and read a little bit

15
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: about Candace Owens and some of her controversial stuff, so

16
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: I know exactly what the problem is. So Young Labour

17
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: can thank themselves for spreading her rhetoric even more widely.

18
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: The reason they want to ban her is because they say,

19
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: we have an obligation to be protecting our communities from

20
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: that kind of rhetoric that empowers divisive movements. Have they

21
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: heard of the end net. I mean, it's not borders

22
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: that stop bad ideas nowadays, is it? It just comes

23
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: right over. They also then go on to say that

24
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: if the government doesn't listen and decides to let Candice

25
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: owens in anyway, can the government it, please, please, at

26
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: least just make sure there's heaps of security at her

27
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: events quote to ensure that when those people do choose

28
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: to counter protest her, they're not also met with violence.

29
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: The bloody cheek of it. I mean, the last time

30
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: we had somebody controversial hair, which is, of course was

31
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: Posy Parker, it wasn't Posy Parker's protesters were the ones

32
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: in court for violence was It was the counter protesters.

33
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,199
Speaker 1: It was the counter protesters. It was the young punk

34
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: who turned up to protest Posy Parker and then punched

35
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: a grandmother in the face because she was a supporter.

36
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: It was the one who threw the tomato juice on

37
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: Posy Parkers. It don't be calling for security to keep

38
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: the counter protesters safe as the people who were there

39
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: to watch the actual controversial thing. Who needs to be

40
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: kept safe from the counter protesters by the looks of things. Anyway,

41
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: Let's just at least be honest about who poses the

42
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: greatest threat. Here here's some simple advice, because obviously it's

43
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: too late this I've been reminded about Candice Owen's now

44
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: we're all talking about it. But here's some simple advice

45
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: for the next time someone controversial comes to New Zealand.

46
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: Don't mention it because the only people who will know

47
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: and go to the event are the people who have

48
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: already consumed the content, the people who are already fans. Now,

49
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: though with the Candice Owen situation, a whole lot more

50
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: people will probably go and read some of her stuff.

51
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: What an own goal again. For more from Heather Duplessy
