To be blunt: the Green Party are not the good guys in my 2030 musical. 🤣 It's a group of radical students from Dunedin; while I may riff on the Green Party MP's, they're still my characters and my situations that I invented to tell a futuristic story. - I feel the same way about the Freedom Militia. When I came up with that name, I wasn't aware of the Freedom and Rights Coalition... I think it was 2021 or early 2022 when I started using that. WriterDuet saves different versions, but I'm not sure if I'm backing up the script or not. They were supposed to be a riff on Groundswell... how was I to know that the real bad guys would storm Parliament? 😱 - Plus Edgar was supposed to be Simon Bridges, not Winston Peters, though I can see why people interpreted that. 👋
