MEDIA WATCH: I’ve never listened to Kate Hawkesby in my life, why would I start now over cannabis?
The great Ok Karen of white middle class privilege speaks…
Kate Hawkesby: Let’s get facts straight on the cannabis referendum
The pro-legalise movement comes largely from adults advocating on the basis of their own experiences, arguing the case for people like them.
I’ve never listened to Kate Hawkesby in my life, so why would I start now over cannabis?
Firstly, fuck you Kate. The manner in which prohibition has been wielded like a huge weapon against sections of our community who look nothing like you means people like us have an obligation to step up and demand change!
Secondly, Shouldn’t we be fucking outraged by these prohibition fascists?
Shouldn’t we be furious that the American Religious Right are interfering in our domestic politics?
Shouldn’t we be incandescent with fucking rage that the State have used the prohibition of a product far less damaging than alcohol or tobacco to imprison, arrest, prosecute, punish, stain and mutilate generations of our fellow citizens for a ‘crime’ that was always about control and never about our safety?
Fuck the prohibitionists with their failed war on drugs!
I’m not being lectured by an alcoholic society on what substance I consume and I’m sure as fuck not going to tolerate being told what to do by moralistic cowards who dare use my safety to continue their systems of control!
And that goes triple for a privileged morals like Kate fucking Hawkesby!
We should be collectively outraged that we have allowed the State to have this prohibition power for as long as they have. Cannabis is a civil rights issue, the State has crushed hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens for decades upon decades to enforce a law that was always about control and not our welfare.
How dare they and how dare we allow them to get away with it!
You can enrol on the day of the election so there are no excuses this time.
Don’t drag yourself to the ballot box comrades, march there in furious anger and tell the State and Kate Hawkesby to fuck off out of our collective lives.

‘Hawkessby’ is an apt name for an evil right wing ‘hawk’ – Martyn.
She has the very face of evil in her eyes.
You say Kate Hawskeby is the face of evil – that is not the face of evil, I will tell you what is evil.
Evil is when we surrender our dignity and freedoms instead of defying Kate Hawkseby.
Don’t forget her early retired Dad has been pushing the alcohol drug hidden inside grape juice for years.
Why listen? Because she has long sleek blonde hair carefully combed, lovely white teeth, she is good looking and wears the right clothes, behaves just right for a 21st century woman, and has Confidence (and a lot of money). She must be right in what she says, or she wouldn’t have that well-paid job would she, that’s obvious!
Nice sarcasm!
Kate Hawkseby? Some media nobody .. going by the above pic – some kind of shock-jock for News Talk ZB?
Maybe saw her in a Woman’s Weekly? Would have been years ago at a fish-n-chipper. Is the Woman’s Day still a published title?
Sean Plunket is good, I sometimes look up his Friday Working Group online. As for News Talk ZB, it’s kind of at the level of a live Joe Biden speech.
Yeah, ok, well .. that’s that.
Kate who? isnt that the lady who left her hubby for the other presenter who got his ass kicked by Maori Party co leader in court. Huh, I thought Kate hated cannabis because it was linked to all poor people, beneath her or low socio economic blah blah. Her words when she was a presenter before she got the boot because of her affair blah blah. She had to sell her home, because whe was unemployer or unable to return to work or something, refer to previous media quotes/ write upp blah blahhhhh. Who cares, she has blond hair I think
Why listen to Jacinda?
Because she is articulate and intelligent, Hawkesby, not so much.
Is Hawkesby someone people listen to in the barbarous North? Cripes they must be bored.
Without stoners where would her husband get fashion ideas.
