A New Zealand blog devoted to Libertarianism, Libertarian ideas and the spread of Libertarianism throughout the world, by New Zealand's Youngest Libertarian, Callum McPetrie. "Liberty is not a means to a political end. It is itself the highest political end."
Auckland has staged its second march against the Electoral Finance Bill, which took place yesterday. And a much larger crowd turned up, matching the 5,000 that John Boscawen, who the organizer of all of these marches, wanted. Keep up the good work, guys!

Callum, it was an excellent turnout, especially given the timing being close to Christmas, etc. 5000 people provide a healthy tail, for sure, and the many banners spoke volumes visually. I was proud to be there in the preservation of freedom.
John Boscawen's speech was lengthy, but retained everybody's interest. Christine Rankin, Bob McCoskrie and Newstalk ZB's Danny Watson also spoke well, albeit briefly.
It would be fair to say that there were a goodly number of lefties protesting the bill, too. Goes to show that a measure of objectivity is still possible!
Yes it was good to see Auckland finally come out.
KILL THE BILL
