For all those opposed to or worried about the passing of this Bill in its current form (and everyone in New Zealand should be, as it stands now it is an appalling piece of legislation) get out and show the politicians that you're not going to take it sitting down. Join the protest marches around the country on Saturday.
Taken from http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PO1307/S00233/protesting-the-gcsb-tics-bills-nationwide.htm they are as follows:
Auckland - Aotea Square - 2pm-4pm
Hamilton - Garden Place - 2pm-4pm
Napier - Memorial Square - 2pm-4pm
Wellington - Cuba St Bucket Fountain (2pm) then march to The Beehive (3pm) for speakers - 2pm-4pm
Nelson - iSite, Halifax St - 2pm-4pm
Christchurch - Bridge of Remembrance - 2pm-4pm
Dunedin - The Octagon - 2pm-4pm
We're all far too comfortable in New Zealand and believe that 'someone else' will look after our civil liberties but they're not. This Bill should be above politics - it needs to have an independent enquiry and be reconstructed thoughtfully - not swished through at the whim of a current government - it's far too important for that.
So get out there and show that you disapprove - you may have nothing to hide, but that doesn't mean you should give up the right to your privacy.
Cheers
