Just made my last-minute submission! Here's my closing statement.

Overall, this bill is at best is poorly worded and simply not well thought out, and at worst, is a willful action to strike fear into the people of Aotearoa against protesting.

Hi MIGW homies, I don't have a GCAP pass because I'm a poor indie dev now (and I forgot to submit a talk) but I'll be hanging around the area anyway 👀

Tana ⭐➡️ MIGW⏭️SXSW @tanamakes.games · 4d

Nah, got to my hotel by then! But I did see you chatting to Niamh in the bag line while I was in another queue :p
