I could not believe what I was hearing when this women threatened our PM. What an entitled ,arrogant person she is. I had a conversation with my Melbourne based son two days ago, about her, when he phoned me for a chat. The conversation involved Free speech versus hate speech-where is the boundary between the two.?? He was in favour of free speech,but not impressed with the black clad, nazi saluting,alt right mob spouting hatred towards trans people in Melbourne.The thing about this woman is that she is not only inciting hatred against trans people, she is actively trying to destroy their rights to be their own selves. I think about the wonderful Georgina Byer when I think of trans women, and the contribution she made to our country. Retired socioogy professor Paul Spoonley said on the Breakfast show this morning that he thought the Minister of Immigration, Michael Wood did have enough grounds to ban this woman from coming into our country. There are preceedents.
Thanks Nick. Thst clarified a lot of things for me - well-written as always. You know, of all that woman's nastiness, what possibly disturbs me most is that she is able to threaten our Prime Minister. Who does she think she is??
Yes Nick. That works for me and without doubt Kiri. Remembering Patricia Bartlett, Germaine Greer and the Chch Wizard and the uni-sex student toilets (cubicles) at Canterbury University in the 1960's
I'm imagining Seymour and the Tamakis having dinner with it (hard to define it's species much less it's gender) so they can memorise some of it's best lines.
Agree. Except she cannot be called a TERF. She can be heard in one of the videos of her Australian visit shouting “I am not a feminist “!
We could use the term coined for her by a Tasmanian MP:
MP in Tasmania calls Posie Parker a Transphobic Exclusionary Right wing Dropkick "TERD"
Well said Nick. She promotes herself as an advocate for women's rights. When in fact she's an advocate for negativity and hate.

Very well written Nick. Thank you.
what an appalling excuse for a human being....
Hmmm, it was interesting that Nats came out in support of Posie Parker, but not surprising given the she plays the same old songs that they do.

Great article.
I do believe she should not be allowed in to Aotearoa - she will incite too much hate.
Love Catherine below's TURD!
Hey Nick. Great explanation. Which Saturday and which Sunday are we protesting please. Barb Taupō

What a horrible woman - I hope govt bans her from coming.
Ben Elton’s ‘Identity Crisis’ is very instructive in this area.
An oxymoron
Freedom to spread hate, certainly not a freedom fighter, certainly not a feminist. Simply a bigot
