63 New Zealand Jewish leaders representing over 25 organisations gathered in Auckland from around the country recently for a full day of workshops, seminars, and a deep desire for increased collaboration.
Human rights lawyer and disabled person Dr Huhana Hickey (Ngāti Tāhinga, Whakatōhea) worries it risks ruining a necessary conversation about hate speech in New Zealand. Make your statements, keep them professional and do the job . they re not doing that, they re just start the conversation, get into a bit of a bug hole and then they end up in this big problem where they don t know how to explain it and so they disappear. And that s not a good sign for any politician of any party. People get that as meaning to say he s afraid, he s running away, or they don t want to engage, they just want to stop free speech and that s when all the rumours start, all the toxic conversations start.
