Show Notes

In this latest episode of The Dispatches podcast, I discuss the so-called ‘safe areas’ Act that was passed in the NZ Parliament on Wednesday night (16 March, 2022). This new Act now makes it possible for peaceful, and even silent, protest within 150m of an abortion facility to be a punishable criminal offence in NZ. In this episode I discuss the history, the specific content, and the serious questions about the legitimacy of this new legislation. ✅ Support Left Foot Media and receive exclusive episodes of The Dispatches at: www.Patreon.com/LeftFootMedia❤️ Check out our website: www.watchLFM.com
