| Pretty sad when the alt left has so much influence to stifle free speech. If she was criticising Christianity this would not even make the news. The whole world needs to wake up, the right to freedom of speech is being eroded by those very liberals who demand you follow their narrative or be silenced. | 224 | 330 | 106 | TheOracle |
| As somebody that leans left, I find this hard to stomach. These two should have as much right as the next man to have their opinions heard. Whether people attend is up to them. If you want to attend I wouldnt hold it against you. Hell, Id like to attend myself just to see what all the fuss is about.
All Im seeing are intolerant lefties getting their knickers in a twist. Im embarrassed. | 223 | 283 | 60 | paygehappy |
| They could use my garage at Ohinewai...fresh coffee ..craft beer and good security ..what the hell is wrong with this country they might not be my cup of tea but these lefties...look at whats going on in sth Africa protest about that . | 223 | 288 | 65 | runt51 |
The threats from the fascists of the Left have so unnerved the owner of the proposed speaking venue that she feels that it is too risky to proceed. Those who think that is some kind of victory should reflect that the triumph of intolerance and violent rhetoric is symptomatic of all that the unhinged activists speak out against. Unless Southern and Moyneux incite violence they have every right to speak. What they say can then be taken seriously or discarded as calculated to be divisive and/or an attempt at self promotion. | 220 | 271 | 51 | bruceanderson21, |
| So bad people cant disagree with the radical left, Left seem to be allowed to say anything but others cant or they get death threats. These guys only want their say and should just do a big web stream now so those that want to listen can and those that dont want to can winge silently. | 205 | 287 | 82 | Shanesview |
| The only speech worth protecting is controversial speech. The left think this is a victory for them, but not thousands of kiwis will watch Lauren and Stefans show and videos on YouTube. A sizeable proportional will agree with them and you now have awakened previously apathetic people. Good job lefties | 184 | 232 | 48 | iceagecoming |
| Thats the problem with democratic free speech people dont always agree with you so its best to shut them down. There, democracy served.... oh, hang on. | 182 | 239 | 57 | Jenny Hill |
| If they were Muslim speaking against Christianity, theyd be defended to the hilt by the left in their right to free speech. If it was a Christian speaking against Islam however, that would be hate speech. If it was a white guy telling his story, that would probably be considered racist and sexist, but a Maori woman - that would be empowering. Are we seeing a pattern here? | 181 | 224 | 43 | M855 |
| Free speech is allowed... as long as everyone else agrees with you I guess... | 179 | 234 | 55 | JEdwards |
| This is most unfortunate. What it teaches pressure groups is that they can shut down freedom of speech by threatening disruption and violence. A sad day for New Zealand and a singular lack of backbone by Power Station management. | 172 | 243 | 71 | Prestige |
| This is so smallmined everyone has the right to speak if you dont like it then dont listen... simple as | 169 | 202 | 33 | Borisette |
I understand its all about freedom of speech, but its the content of the freedom of speech of speech that I found offensive.
Good Lord - the irony in this statement is unbelievable! | 165 | 209 | 44 | frynturn |
| Mullins apologised to all who have supported the Powerstation and who we may have offended. Is she going to apologise to all those who support free speech too? | 163 | 206 | 43 | impco |
| Wow terrible precedent set, the thought police says you may not listen to views that deviate from the mainstream narrative. Media have been complacent in misrepresenting them, wether by ignorance or deliberate deception. They are not alt-right by the way FYI. | 159 | 191 | 32 | SampNZ |
| The more the left attempt to silence the truth and basic facts from what they like to call the far right the more people will realise where there is smoke there is fire. If there is no substance to what these speakers have to say then why the obsessive push to silence them. I thought we had free speech in NZ and THE police to ensure different points of view could be put forward without either left or right descending into violence. Clearly we dont. Seemingly the left doesnt feel comfortable hearing the truth | 158 | 191 | 33 | Grant68 |
| So are we to assume then that the Power Station owners endorse the views of every act that appears there? Or is it just views that are right of centre? | 157 | 205 | 48 | Enough |
| The noisy minority win again! | 154 | 206 | 52 | jonno58 |
| Gutless owner. Lack of free speech in NZ is a bad omen for the future! | 149 | 207 | 58 | Essbee10 |
| The fanatical Left win again. Wake up people, disliking Multi multiculturalism does not make you racist and complaining about something before it even happens is stifling nothing but an opinion. You dont like it? dont listen. I thought i would listen to several of her speeches to find out for myself and didnt find any hate speech at all. Pretty out there but far from crazy stuff. | 149 | 187 | 38 | MikePyk |
