To the 9th floor

To put it mildly, you shits violated my liberties long ago. During Jacinda's term. If you want me to follow the rules, perhaps treat me equally in that respect to my party. When you a) stop spying on me 24/7, b) admit fault re: conversion therapy, c) allow David to be formally warned over his cheeky bs last month, then I think I'd be closer to how Miguel - the NZ First activist who is copying me - is treated, plus maybe it's time for them to admit that I've been consistently treated in a way that isn't exactly friendly at Parliament. People are pretending now, but let's examine the past. Where you accused me of flashing the PM, despite zero evidence of this showing up on the numerous cameras that dot the House of Representatives? Where all the security guards spent several years making snide remarks about myself and Gary (as if we were a couple)? Gary's the same age as my dad was, so believe me that there's nothing sexual about it. Where attending to watch my friend got me investigated for being a 'fixated threat'? Believe me, telling a bunch of psychiatrists that I'm not an erotomanic sexual compulsive is not something that ever should have occurred, and is a clear instance of some old dude that still believed in that Blanchard bs. - After that, believe me that it takes some epic restraint not to top myself, particularly if you factor in all the gossip and stigma that led to those initial knee-jerk reactions. Compared to that, being 'intimidated' by me filming Gary for the umpteenth time is an obvious instance of intimidation from Mr. Luxon's envoys. - Treat me like a human, which involves reading a bill that you've delayed for two years so that I can have my formal human rights, which might involve admitting that these past instances of discrimination really occurred, and did stigmatise what was legal expression and the right to attend a public event. I'm sure the Press Gallery would bend over backwards to admit me now, but that wasn't the case last year (Maiki). Forgive me if being threatened (again) by the PM has lost a whole lot of lustre. My cartoons aren't illegal, despite some pretty shonky attempts to suggest that they might somehow be considered harassing or distressing. - There's no reason to be nice or friendly. This protest is the most harmless way of expressing an anger that virtually everyone outside of those halls is feeling. My messaging was consistent. This protest is total warfare via fashion. Why be civil with people that refuse to even speak to me? Perhaps the Omelette might wish to discuss my satire on my show? Given that Parliamentary Security haven't formally warned me, I'd say that this is indeed an attempt to dissuade me from a bunch of people who were surprised to see support and solidarity for our anti-imperial stance on Monday.
