David Farrar: DPMC funded Director calls Government a death cult

You can have a reasonable disagreement on whether boot camps are effective. But someone who states that the Government hates children and is a death cult is a bad faith extremist. They're the equivalent of someone on the right who thinks Jacinda did vaccine mandates because she is paid by Pfizer. Crazy conspiracy theorists.

But Professor Kidman is not some random person. She is the co-director of He Whenua Taurikura, a supposed charity that is funded mainly by the Government. Their parent body's postal address is the Dept of PM and Cabinet.

And what is He Whenua Taurikura? It is “New Zealand's National Centre of Research Excellence for Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism”

Hmmm violent extremism. Wouldn't calling the Government a death cult that hates children actually inspire violent extremism? I mean if you really thought that, then surely violence is warranted if the Government is akin to Pol Pot.

I think I've found another area where Nicola Willis can save some money.
