In my opinion Ardern has crossed the line, she has interfered in a contractual arrangement between two consenting parties. By so doing she has opened the door to future protests and expectations that all protesters have to do is foment trouble and they will get what they want.
The message this sends to business and investors and anyone concerned with the rule of law is in my view a very negative one. It suggests that NZ is ruled by a mob, to which a weak PM yields.
This decision by Ardern to involve herself in this dispute is ill-judged and wrong.
A short but well said summary of proceedings.
I see the head truck driver that supposedly leads said mob is to grace the site with his presence today.
Kiingi Tūheitia is visiting Ihumātao this morning with the aim to “seek a pathway for resolution”
No doubt further emboldening the shit stirring rabble.
