"It's racial and extremely political and right wing. Police wouldn't allow me to go to one of the candidate events in the Whakatāne district because they didn't think I would be safe."

So the police, rather than ensuring her safety, stopped her going. A victory for the munters right there.

The treatment women in particular in politics in NZ has become truly horrifying.
