Beating up Children- it’s the Government’s Duty!


I recently found this article from slashdot. To summarize:

New Zealand’s Parliament has voted itself far-reaching powers to control satire and ridicule of MPs in Parliament, attracting a storm of media and academic criticism.

The new standing orders, voted in last month, concern the use of images of Parliamentary debates, and make it a contempt of Parliament for broadcasters or anyone else to use footage of the chamber for “satire, ridicule or denigration”.

How the hell did they expect me to respond to this?





You wanna fight, New Zealand Parliament? Come get some.

Power to the people, my Kiwi brothers.



Hungry for more?
