The final words go to Dr Muriel Newman, who wrote in her excellent article on the importance of protecting the right to freedom of speech, available HERE.
“In reality it's only by having the courage to speak out about such issues that we can make a difference. Some people get disheartened and think that speaking out is pointless - but never forget how much worse everything would be if were all cowed into silence.
It’s now time for the silent majority to step up and claim back the right to speak freely in New Zealand”.
