I wasn't on Parliament Grounds when I flipped off Brian Tamaki.

As for the balustrade: that was an accident. The second time, I was picking up my token for the bag check, which was on the floor and I'd left behind me.

One could see it as a gesture of disrespect, but it was honestly an accident.

- Flipping Tamaki the bird was my activist protest for the week, and alongside that anti-war protest, my profile has probably been raised slightly re: now I'm an 'anti-war' activist, and that's probably a different list that surveillance agencies put people on.

I wasn't touching the balustrade the second time. That time I bent over normally. There's room for a certain amount of cheekiness; that's what I'm there for!
