There is a lot of hatred being expressed online towards those who make the comparison between what we are seeing happen in New Zealand and the rise of fascism in Europe in the 1930’s.

In his essay published in The BFD today, Cam Slater writes thoughtfully about the rise of fascism in Europe and its reflection in the New Zealand of today, in the Adern government. The comparison is not only valid, but should be chilling to even the most ardent supporter of Covid policy.

“If New Zealanders have not yet tumbled to the realisation that what we are watching unfold is spectacularly sinister, then we’re in deep shit and we’ve already lost the spirit of our ANZAC camaraderie, in fact, it’s worse than that for it means what we’ve lost is nothing less than the Free World itself.”

In this excellent article by Joanna Pennyfeather in The BFD, New Zealand’s new status as an apartheid state is examined, and there are searching questions for every citizen.
