Jesus! She really is as fik as Soimon suspected. Or she’s just a really really bad liar.
Anybody else notice that fella with the mutton chops and the bug ego at the protest?
Google is his best friend and he has a certificate from the Facebook School of Medicine.
His mum and dad must have been old campaigners – which is where he probably derives his creds.
What a total wanker!!!
“Natural Immunity is 99.6% effective”
He neglects to mention that is AFTER infections and recovery, and doesn’t apply to various indigenous populations (including here and ears in lil ‘ole NuZull that punches above its weight.
So this muppet has done his facebook research.
Remind me please, NEVER to judge a book by it cover. Some hippies are good, others will forever look for conspiracy.
Jesus what a wanker!!! I really would like to meet his fantastic ego.
He probably should have been the first they arrested, although I understand and applaud the tactics
Btw, when it comes to the vehicles, there is a shitload of wharf space available to quarantine the gorgeous disruptors until their commitments to sussoighty have been met.
Since I have the appropriate skills as to the ability to drive the various vehicles, I’ll volunteer for free, just so long as I can sit on the vehicles’ owners faces and deliver the best, after a really good curry

The government offered one-off residency visas to registered nurses from overseas but migrant nurses who were newly-trained in the New Zealand system did not qualify.
One nurse, who sometimes cared for Covid-19 patients, said it was frustrating.
“We are critical health workers – we are dealing with Covid patients every day,” she said.
She finished her Bachelor of Nursing last year and was seeing the nursing shortages first hand in her work.
“Last night was full crazy … running over my own feet. Every day we are very short of nurses. They do need nurses everywhere,” she said.
She was granted a three-year working visa, which meant she had no certainty about her future here, could not buy a home and did not have full access to state health care.
