Well, I hope that this really is the last word and that my enemies are realising that I'm more like Nicky Hager than Yeezus. I'm not as smart as Nicky, but I've certainly faced a huge amount of state-sponsored harassment while making my cannabis doco. Given that this probably did include attempts at conversion therapy, I really do expect an investigation to occur, but I'm way too chicken to formally approach the relevant authorities (I don't think that my evidence is proof enough). The way I see it: I'm probably right, and it'd be in the interests of the Government to clear this up before Question Time next week. How could I possibly be a credible threat to national security when I'm participating legitimately in the democratic process? - As for Wellington: this is what needs to happen -- I need to hear the words 'I'm sorry' from the people that refused to accept my gender identity. I also need to hear the words 'I'm sorry' from the people that pursued my screenplay for the last 18 months or so. I'm sure I'll end up apologising a bit too, but given the obvious disparity in privilege and finances between me and my enemies, that's pretty rich. I need an ironclad agreement that I will never be forced to stop wearing the clothes that I choose to wear on a daily basis, and that all employers will respect this. - Ideally, I'd also love at least a year where nobody is hassling me to perform.
