When it seems like Nazis, racists and bigots are on the rise. Remember that last night a Māori astronomer who made Kiwis love Matariki and a fearless LGBT activist won NZer of the Year and Young NZer of the Year. It's going to be OK. We good. 😍❤🤩

@cocoa09598 @DanAotearoa @cronie29 @TheRedbaiter Sorry, I am not interested in engaging with Bots and false accounts

[Rónán Bass @RonanBass]

@rnz_news Glad to hear he is on the side of the protestors and citizens he hopes to lead [sarcasm in case you didn't get it]

I’m scared to post this because it’s almost TOO Irish: filming yesterday at Newgrange, Co Meath, at Europe’s oldest building, when a rainbow appeared above the passage tomb.

@Henriet06948348 @WendyWings WOW! What an absolutely broad sweeping statement you have made. Nothing like a personal attack when you have no other argument. Just to clarify: being gay I have certainly been impacted by heteronormative male gender ideology. That is not the exclusive domain of females.

@byroncclark The information presented above comprehensively demonstrates that Posie Parker's Auckland event was a far-right mobilisation and any claim that it was pro-women or feminist has no evidence. We thank those anti-fascist counter-protestors who deplatformed Posie Parker yesterday.

@byroncclark These days no far-right event in Aotearoa is complete without the participation of the far-right cult Voices For Freedom. Posie Parker's Auckland event was no exception, with VFF co-founder Alia Bland being part of Parker's contingent and having livestreamed the event.

@byroncclark Accompanying Helen Houghton at Posie Parker's Auckland event was far-right New Conservative Party board member and far-right Right Minds leader Dieuwe de Boer. De Boer was one of the organisers of far-right Canadians Lauren Southern and Stefan Molyneux's failed 2018 NZ tour.

[Paparoa @Paparoa3]

@byroncclark One of the co-speakers for Posie Parker's Auckland event was far-right New Conservative Party co-leader Helen Houghton. Prior to becoming co-leader, Helen created a petition calling for teaching about trans acceptance to be banned in NZ schools. So much for being for free speech.

@byroncclark The skull mask Nazi contingent at the Posie Parker event yesterday were talking with in a friendly and jovial way with John Lehmann, failed 2022 Auckland Mayoral candidate. https://t.co/s2lzpdcy97

[Paparoa @Paparoa3]

@byroncclark Also attending the Posie Parker rally was Warren Knott, who hold the dubious title of being NZ's most committed and longest-serving Islamophobic propagandist.

@byroncclark Unusually, Action Zealandia, didn't post any pictures of young boys with their faces blurred in their latest tramping pictures. We suspect that the group imploded after James Fairburn was outed and fired. Just one sad little Nazi posting on Telegram and pretending to have friends

[Paparoa @Paparoa3]

@byroncclark Action Zealandia also claim to have been tramping this weekend in Wellington. That would be why we didn't see Action Zealandia members Karl Shaw, Jordan Milburn, and James Fairburn amongst the Posie Parker supporters this weekend.

[Paparoa @Paparoa3]

@byroncclark Action Zealandia claim to have been tramping this weekend in Great Barrier Island. That would be why we didn't see Action Zealandia members Ed Clarkson, Gabriel Buhmann, Solomon Tor-Kilsen and Sam Brittenden amongst the Posie Parker supporters this weekend.

You can read about the far-right traditionalist Catholic/tradcath movement in Aotearoa in chapter 6 of @byroncclark's excellent book, Fear. https://t.co/iO5kl2kXmu

[Paparoa @Paparoa3]

We haven't confirmed all their identities yet. However it appears at least one them was Dane Alexander Lokes, who was involved in an antisemitic and homophobic hate crime against Greymouth's Pink Church.

James Rossiter is also an active member of the New Conservative Party. Here he is wearing half of the Action Zealandia uniform.

[Paparoa @Paparoa3]

With them was James Rossiter, one of several Nazis to have been kicked out of the ACT party.

3/ Unlike Action Zealandia, not all their members are Pākehā. One of them is Ethiopian traditionalist Catholic and self-styled "neoreactionary technophile traditionalist" Thomas Richards. However they are not shy about being nazis. https://t.co/fjyZsMG4xM

[Paparoa @Paparoa3]

2/ They frequently post memes celebrating the holocaust and celebrating suicides of transgender people.
