Boycott New Zealand

Let's hit the state sanctioned violence against women where it hurts - in their pockets.

Off the top of my head:

Wine - Oyster Bay, Villa Maria, the Ned, Wairau Cove, Brancott Eatate, Cloudy Bay
Lamb - check the label to make sure it's British
Manuka honey and ordinary honey - M&S stock quite a few.
Wool
Allbirds shoes
Canterbury clothing.

Have I missed anything?

Also write to the PM: [email protected]
Minister for trade: [email protected]

And tell them you're boycotting and why. There's no point if they don't know you're doing it!

@Sdgrth oh yes Hamilton is quite dangerous. That’s where that all black Sevu Reece was when he chased and beat his girlfriend on the street. My DH used to live there!

@Sdgrth yes I agree having lived in remote NZ towns, the two bigger cities and in London. London feels safer because there’s always people around.

I know! And that’s living in Hamilton and Auckland for 8 years. There is always a fight. I never got it. But on the other hand it’s equally beautiful and safe place. Especially the good parts of Auckland. Hamilton…not so much!

Ah NZ has never been safe. I remember we had an option of a library security guy escorting us to our car after hours at Uni. The issue is that’s nobody around, ever. I never understood why NZ was so
generally menacing. There is no reason to be so menacing. It’s safer in London I feel, there is always someone around.

I just wanted to post this somewhere but I didn't think he deserved his own thread. I noticed a picture of a very homely 'woman' while looking for something else. Tbf to Bronwyn he started identifying as a woman in the 90s, perhaps around the time he committed murder, before the current trans craze. The articles in the NZ Herald seem truncated and at least one fails to mention anything about his trans identity at all, you'd be forgive for believing he actually was female. I'm not sure what prison (male or female) he's going to.

The link below is through a terfy NZ twitter account, I think they'd enjoy the traffic.

That would be my take. Seemed very excited by the violence against women there.

Helleofabore · 03/04/2023 12:40

How interesting. A keen interest in Kellie Jay AND the protest AND Sean Plunket. .... almost like that twitter profile is a misogynist who cannot allow women to speak .....

Whaeanui · 03/04/2023 12:33

And Posie, the guys obsessed. He was one of the ‘counter protestors’ who applauded the violence that led to Posie fleeing. Revolting person.

Not sure who reported Sean Plunket or what he was banned for, he hasn’t said, was it because he said a man can’t be a woman? I don’t know but this account is very gleeful about it and seems to claim he made violent threats?

https://twitter.com/Te_Taipo/status/1642739078042112000?cxt=HHwWgMDS1Zyfl8wtAAAA

Well that person seems to have a fascination with Sean Plunket.

Don't feel bad, the next prime minister of the UK can't say what one is either.

If he wins

If he does it won’t be on my vote

My god im embarrassed for my country. Now our PM cant even say what a woman is? !

Whaeanui · 03/04/2023 08:05

NZ PM Chris Hipkins was just asked by Sean Plunket how he would define a woman, following from Kier Starmer and his response some women have a penis. You can see a NZ woman share the moment here. Note when Mr Hipkins shared his press conference on Facebook he cut this question out 😬

Controversial broadcaster Sean Plunket has been suspended from Twitter.

Screenshots circulating Twitter appear to show the suspension is due to his breaking the "hateful conduct rule".

On Facebook, Plunket posted his own screenshot along with the message: "Just got suspended from Twitter. Another victory for free speech."

He would not comment further to Newshub when contacted.

Whaeanui · 02/04/2023 10:12

Under their tweets sharing the stories, RNZ & Mediawatch, nobody is agreeing with them at all. There are replies with that drone footage clearly showing the opposite of what they’re claiming.

Helleofabore · 02/04/2023 10:02

So they are gaslighting as usual?

They are saying it didn’t happen, just like males with trans identities don’t commit sex crime and violence at at least the same rate as all males. Or like people can actually change sex. Or that there is no evidence of male advantage after testosterone reduced in sport.

Can’t say I am surprised. Most Mainstream media has already been heavily invested in this in some degree.

TiedUpWithABlackVelvetBand · 02/04/2023 09:55

Absolutely incredible, isn’t it?

The push-back is looking increasingly desperate. But I am so cynical now, that I think it will probably work.

Nonetheless, the conversation about this is happening, and I just know that outside MSM, people are starting to ask questions.

Whaeanui · 02/04/2023 08:55

I checked Ani O’Briens twitter and MSM are now writing articles to try and pushback against the mountain of evidence from the event and violence from protesting TRA’s, because they had journalists ‘on the ground’ and the violence claims are over stated blah blah they have videos posted to them in the replies and still they try and push their false stories.

ArabellaScott · 01/04/2023 21:16

Hmm. Be interesting to see if the wokebros denounce women getting yogurt chucked at them. Maybe they just don't gaf what happens to women regardless, though.

Clymene · 01/04/2023 18:14

Wow that interview is really eye opening @Whaeanui
Had Beyer been alive, they would have been denounced as a terf 'whoever invented the term transgender really opened up a Pandora's box and now it's a term that's meant to include everything on the gender continuum I presume'.

I actually returned to the thread to share this video: Two Iranian women arrested for not covering hair after man attacks them with yoghurt https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-65150135

And people accused me of hyperbole Hmm

As this seems to be the most active board on the events in NZ I’ll post this here, this is an interview with Georgina Beyer, for those who don’t know the awful cartoon for nz herald was meant to be using their hand to stop Posie talking… but what Georgina actually said on the issue is being ignored

Georgina quite clearly says they had some of the same concerns around self ID as woman, Would never use the term ‘t**f’ and referred to themselves as transexual NOT transgender, which they didn’t like. Do read!

Please could you share your definition of sane?

People who believe that when unicorns fart rainbow glitter, Geoff Capes turns into Darcy Bussel, I think.

SinnerBoy · 31/03/2023 16:10

They aren’t the people I’m writing for.

It seems that you are writing on their behalf, makes you think, doesn't it? You're writing on behalf of granny bashers, trying to get us to believe that granny bashers are the righteous ones.

Sorry to disagree in the strongest terms and all.
