Statement following Brian Tamaki's release on bail yesterday. This statement was posted on 'The Resistance-New Zealand' Telegram channel yesterday. This is the Telegram channel associated with the Freedom & Rights Coalition:
After a somewhat minor pushback, it seems the NZ government has backed down (for now) and released Brian and Hannah tamaki on bail with restrictions on internet access and any involvement with protest (which is disgusting and illegal). Some other local organisers could also be up for charges so we are waiting to hear back. A push back was scrambled at the last minute and those who could make it were there. Imagine the response if we had more time. In christchurch there was at least 200 people who scrambled outside minister of police (Poto Williams) office in Christchurch at short notice. Thank you to all those who could make it today.
The battle continues to intensify with the government emboldened by the somewhat unopposed reign it has had so far. Things are slowly changing but it may have to get worse before it gets better. As this government swells up in pride and continues to reach further into our liberties, they continue to make mistakes. Thousands continue to join our cause by the week within TFRC and at a local level there are great things happening. Continue to support your local TFRC groups because they are causing this government some concern…so much so, they are personally targetting their leaders nationwide.
Many are weary from the mental pressure this government have been applying in their psychological war. We must not focus on the negative and continue to encourage each other and believe. We will win the war but this is not going to be a short fight.
We are privileged to be in this fight with so many great people. We are making inroads slowly but surely. Every inch of ground we make is hard fought. But ultimately, people are beginning to ask questions of this agenda and this is precisely where they need to be in order to stand against this agenda.
Things are about to intensify for this government. stay tuned for further updates as we begin a new type of fight. We will NEVER lay down. We will NEVER give up. We will fight and we will WIN. - The Resistance NZ
