An immigrant making demands on NZ to suit her foreign culture should be nowhere near our Parliament. You should have fired her @actparty when she used her position to have Brian raided and now charged with hate speech. That is abusing her position.
BRIAN TAMAKI IS NOT ON TRIAL. FREE SPEECH IS!
Facing the media scrum outside Manukau District Court today after pleading NOT GUILTY to all three charges of allegedly inciting racial disharmony.
This case is bigger than me. It raises serious questions about the future of free speech in New Zealand.
And here's the FULL media scrum, just in case the media decide to get creative with their editing and cherry-pick my words out of context!
TRUTH IS NOT HATE SPEECH!
WATCH my full response to the media outside court today.
NOT GUILTY! NO BAIL CONDITIONS!
Straight out of the courtroom this morning after hearing the three charges against me.
I have pleaded NOT GUILTY to all three charges of allegedly inciting racial disharmony.
Thankfully, NO bail conditions have been imposed on me. My next case review hearing is 25 January 2027.

Los musulmanes votarán a la izquierda hasta ser mayoría.
Cuando lo sean votarán a los suyos.
Y entonces, los tontos útiles de izquierda serán ejecutados por los que votaron a los suyos, tal como hicieron en Irán en 1979.
Who are Opportunity Party's top political candidates?

• Kayla Kingdon-Bebb
BORN: CANADA 🇨🇦
• Jodie Kuntzsch:
BORN: UNITED STATES 🇺🇲
Why is the New Zealand mainstream media working so hard to support them with masses of FREE media exposure when they have failed to reach the minimum 5% threshold nine years in a row! I smell a big fat disgusting RAT 🐀
TODAY, FREE SPEECH ON TRIAL
Today at 9am, I will appear before the Manukau District Court facing three charges of allegedly inciting racial disharmony.
I intend to find out exactly what the Police are accusing me of.
LET ME BE CLEAR.
I have challenged RELIGION. NOT RACE.
I have spoken about the persecution of Christians, the human rights abuses of political leaders (such as Modi), and foreign religions that I fundamentally disagree with.
RACIAL DISHARMONY? NO!
At a stretch, you could argue religious disharmony.
But I am a Christian preacher. Challenging religious beliefs is part of my calling. I believe New Zealand was founded on Christian principles, and I will not apologise for defending them.
DISAGREEMENT IS NOT RACISM.
People may dislike what I say. They may strongly disagree. They may even be offended.
BUT BEING OFFENDED DOES NOT MAKE SOMETHING A CRIME!
I believe these charges are unjustified and should be thrown out.
And if the Police are genuinely concerned about racial division in New Zealand, perhaps they should take a closer look at the politicians in Parliament who have divided this nation.
BUT THIS CASE IS BIGGER THAN ME.
This is about the fundamental freedoms of EVERY New Zealander.
The freedom to speak.
The freedom to question.
The freedom to challenge.
AND THE FREEDOM TO DISAGREE WITHOUT FEAR OF PROSECUTION.
This case could become a defining moment for free speech in New Zealand.
I recognise the responsibility that now rests upon me.
I am not standing here simply to defend myself.
I am not simply defending myself. I am standing for a principle that belongs to every Kiwi, regardless of race, religion or political belief.
FREE SPEECH DOES NOT BELONG TO THE GOVERNMENT.
IT DOES NOT BELONG TO THE POLICE.
IT BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE.
We must never become a nation where ordinary Kiwis are afraid to speak their minds because they fear being dragged before the courts.
I will defend my position firmly, through the proper legal process.
I will not be intimidated into silence.
And I will continue to speak up for the freedoms of all New Zealanders.
TRUTH IS NOT HATE SPEECH.
FREE SPEECH IS WORTH DEFENDING.
🇳🇿 I LOVE MY COUNTRY. I LOVE NEW ZEALAND.
I didn't expect to get emotional this morning. But as I spoke about my love for New Zealand, the tears caught me by surprise.
That's how deeply I love this country.
What you see in this video isn't weakness. It's my heart laid bare. The heart of a man who loves his country with everything he's got.
New Zealand is my HOME.
I don't have another New Zealand to go to. There is no other country on earth that can replace the one I call home.
This is MY country. My home. My people. My heart.
And when you love something this deeply, you don't just stand by and watch it change without having your say.
That's why I speak up. That's why I stand firm. That's why I refuse to be silenced.
Watch this moment from this morning's message. I hope you see my heart.

Speaking up for clients is what lawyers are paid to do, and the same Law Society committee has censured two of them for it.
Free Speech Union Chair Stephen Franks @franks_lawyer was censured for sending a letter to 20 health practitioners on a client’s behalf. In February, the independent Legal Complaints Review Officer threw the finding out. The reviewer questioned the complainants’ use of the disciplinary system “as a forum for advancing their opposition” to the client’s views.
Tauranga lawyer Kirsten Murfitt @MurfittTauranga was censured for posting her own client’s open letter on social media, which the committee called “disrespectful and discourteous”. The same reviewer overturned that finding too, saying the allegations “should never have been made in the disciplinary forum”. Winning still left her around $30,000 out of pocket.
When an independent reviewer has to overturn the same committee twice in one year, something needs to change.
Tell New Zealand’s regulators to commit to neutrality and stick to the job they’re there for:

WOW! At a time when most countries are beginning to review the damage from the use of puberty blockers has done to children! Don't vote Opportunity party!
🚨In a stunning development, Opportunity Party leader Qiulae Wong has told an LGBT website that trans ideology is a bottom line in negotiations, as are puberty blockers for kids.
She also criticises the radical RSE curriculum, even though she doesn't actually know what's in it.
Sounds like a perfect radical left wing party eh.
@bobmccoskrienz WOW! At a time when most countries are beginning to review the damage from the use of puberty blockers has done to children! Don't vote Opportunity party!
Mr Luxon doesn't like Brian Tamaki and especially dislikes his comments on the Indian "Free Trade" Agreement. Of course this wouldn't have anything to do with Mr Tamaki's recent police charges. Would it..?
RNZ wrote an article attacking Winston Peters for stating “diversity is disunity” in a recent speech.
Today a clip from the UK is going viral, that completely validates WP’s point. A black woman methodically exposes how the UK has become utterly ruined by ‘diversity’ - where an archaic foreign religion - Islam, has grown like a cancer and rendered its host helpless.
Read the excerpt from his speech and the clip below and tell me who do you think is right? Tova, RNZ and the left? or WP? … and a reminder that here in NZ, as in the UK, as in Australia, as in Europe politicians from the right are also embracing and enacting this dangerous Nation destroying woke ideology: Diversity.
“The ‘kiwi dream’ belongs to kiwis who have worked hard for our country, invested time, sweat, pride, and belongs to the generations who share in our country’s history. It is not for just anybody around the world who decides to come to our great country for five minutes and claim what we have built just for their convenience.
The left and right, Labour then National, went on to sell our assets, privatise our country, open our borders to mass immigration, open our society to every wild-west simpleton ideology – an ideology that has been proven over the past forty years to be an abject failure and purveyor of misery and struggle.
Ladies and gentlemen, for decades you have heard other politicians gloating perversely that “diversity is a strength”.
You’ve heard them all say it.
And it’s false.
Because unity is a strength, not diversity. Diversity is weakness and disunity.
The choice is in your hands, not retail globalist politicians.” - Winston Peters.
RNZ : {When the five smaller-party leaders were asked during a recent TV debate whether they supported the diversity, all but Peters raised their hands.}
All we have left is The Power of The People.
We must stand together against...
...corrupt Politicians,
...two-tier Police,
...false Pagan Religions,
...manipulative Press.

You don't have to like or agree with Brian Tamaki to understand this is very, very wrong and should worry all NZers.
Do the pro-palestine; jew hating, and terrorist supporting protesters get this level of legal scrutiny?
Not even close!
2 tier policing is alive and well in NZ.
