Also Nicola Willis MP I won’t forget how you sucked up to me at the library trying to say you weren’t right wing and you were a fan of my books. You wanted a selfie and I said no. You said you just wanted to make life better for children and now look at you? Calling anyone who tries to save the lives of kids a dog. I hope you’re ashamed of yourself. I knew then you were just another pick me power hungry social climber who would walk on the backs of innocent families to get what you want.

Another video of tractors rolling into Jacinda's street.. don't think the media hardly mentioned it at the time , no outrage from the right. Can only find obscure reference to it on reddit.
