Increasingly, New Zealand is starting to feel like 1970’s New Zealand, but without the good bits. We've got the racism, we've got the homophobia, but we don't have the housing affordability and the excellent education system. It's the 70s gone wrong.
What is it with some people? Do we have to fight the good fight every single generation?
A group of smug, righteous, deluded members of Destiny Church, led by that oleaginous, self-aggrandising, self appointed bishop Tamaki, pushed, shoved, and punched their way inside the Te Atatu Community Centre where a drag artist was hosting a child's science show. Nobody had been forced to take their children to the drag queen’s science show. Classrooms weren't herded up and put on buses and made to go. This was a free choice made by parents who knew their children would enjoy seeing a Unicorn on two feet. Which is what drag artists look like.
The children were not frightened by sequins and rainbows and colour, but they would have been terrified by thugs and yelling, shoving and crashing their way into the building. About 30 toddlers, young children and their parents sought refuge within the community centre by barricading themselves inside. Hours later, the same group broke through police barricades at the Auckland Rainbow Parade. There they made a complete nuisance of themselves and held up the parade with a haka.
Destiny Church are perfectly free to protest. If they want to ignore the teachings of the New Testament, as I understand them - we all have our different readings of the Bible – but as I understand it, if Tamaki wants to instruct his followers to follow some interpretive dance version of the fire and brimstone Old Testament according to Tamaki, they want to hold up their signs and chant their slogans, fill your jackboots, do what you will.
Everyone has the right to protest peacefully but storming into a community library, imposing their own version of how to live on others. No. Tamaki said there may have been some pushing and shoving, but that he would smack anyone who was trying to pervert his child in a room.
Oh really? I wasn't going to go there, but seeing as Tamaki has, you'll have probably seen the posting that's been doing the rounds for some time now, the post that shows a chart: Two different groups have been convicted of sexually abusing children in New Zealand between 1990 and 2022. Drag Queens on one side, church leaders and members on the other. Number of drag Queens have been convicted of the sexual abuse of children over 32 years. None. Not one. Number of church members have been convicted of the sexual abuse of children over 32 years. 22.
That is the tip of the iceberg. So yeah, when it comes to perversion, Tamaki might want to have a long look at the history of church groups over the past few years.

So the 70s were racist and homophobic? How? As I remember, opportunities then were based on merit. Nobody excluded Maori because they were Maori. However, you didn't get far if you were lazy, no matter what your race. No Treaty gravy train or DEI. There were the dawn raids, but that was because people were breaking the law and other people were harboring them. Homophobic? There was a law against homosexuality, but how often was it used? There were, however, a lot of sexual assaults against boys and men perpetuated by other men, and that is what people were against. People, like Hudson and Halls, were openly gay without consequence. Obviously there was divergences in people's opinions, but there always is. Kerre Woodham seems to have been listening to the Green's and TPMs version of history too much.
This protest waa weird and out of ordee, but the haka in parliament and the maori party recruitment day protest was even worse. Yet the media loved that. Once we get tribal rule I want the lead story on 1 news to show the news readers happily giving their homes on stolen land back to iwi.
I think what the writer is doing is confusing two issues. On the one hand we have gay people quietly going about their normal lives and on the other, we have a group of flamboyant people who want to capture everyone to their way of living. We don't have any parliamentarians speaking up on these issues to safeguard our children. Therefore you will get more and more ordinary citizens taking a stand. I think some of these protests occur out of sheer exasperation. I for one admire people(and none of us are perfect), who take a stand for what they believe in.
We notice the difference in tone from the media which appeared to be largely supportive of violence inflicted on women at the Posie Parker event.
Bit of a beat up here Kerre. Not a murmur from the legacy media regarding the a70 year old lesbian woman being smashed over by a transgender individual on puberty blockers at the Posie Parker rally. In FACT THE MEDIA COLLUDED TO TO DENIGRATE A WOMAN SPEAKING UP FOR WOMEN!!!!Not a single clarifying statement from our government at the time. No apology from the police who stood by and let it happen! if my children were still young i would think twice about allowing them to corralled in a public library to be entertained by a drag queen. My first question as a parent would be why?????Why is this OK? Why is this form of brain washing being promoted by the Library service? Why must i accept it?
I have two siblings who are homosexual. My children grew up knowing homosexuals as family members not as paid freaks doing a job others are better qualified to do. Just because they are queer doesn't mean they should have preference in this performance work.
Actually Jesus was quite aggressive on two occasions in throwing things around in the temple , because the temple had become a place of profiteering in the selling of sacrificial animals instead of a place of prayer. Some Christians have problems with these events.
MSM never accurately reported what happened with visiting pro women advocate Posey Parker in the Auckland Domain where Rainbow activists by the thousands attacked the few hundreds listening to Posey speak. An elderly woman had her ribs broken and Posey had a knife put to her throat , and had to stop speaking while the police watched on and did nothing.
A case of the pot calling the kettle black with Tamaki's event at the library.
I do not support violence but the transgender mania which includes irreversible damage done in form of puberty blockers and surgeries based on flimsy information about a young child's mind is violence, motivated by an ideology.
I am glad somebody is protesting against this perversion in our society.
Yep agree with you whole heartedly this time Gaynor. I would never speak in support of Destiny as they preach much I disagree with, but Tamaki saved a young man of my acquaintance from the ravages of methamphetamine.He has my respect.
This is rather missing the point.
The current trans ideology isn’t about reading books to kids dressed as “unicorns on two feet”
The current trans ideology it confusing destroying the reproductive potential of ever greater number of sucked in children. There is good evidence that there’s a large component of social contagion with autistic kids being especially vulnerable.
Educate yourself, the Travis Stock clinic in England that was at the forefront of this pro-trans movement is closing down ahead of courtcases.
Interfering with kids is wrong. Full stop. Don’t do it, don’t enable it.
Matt Doocey worked at Tavisstock.
If trans people want to flaunt themselves to consenting adults , that is fine. BUT LEAVE THE CHILDREN OUT OF IT until they understand , as adults what it is all about. Good on Destiny Church for bringing this to our attention. I repeat; LEAVE OUR CHILDREN ALONE
