Ex-National MP Matt King making a speech at the Freedom protest 12th Feb 2022

> Hypocrisy instead of democracy. Today, I got served a trespass order relating to my time at the Wellington protest in February – more than two months later. Peaceful protesting (which is what it was when I was there both times), is allowed in the Bill of Rights.   
>  
> I was clear about promoting a peaceful presence, and I did not break any laws being there. This is yet another breach of our democracy, a total suppression of free speech – and just the way this Govt tries to control and stop people from speaking up for what’s right.   
>  
> This is yet another reason I started **DemocracyNZ** – we cannot let this rubbish carry on.  
>  
> The courts have found the lockdown was illegal, the mandates were illegal, and MIQ was illegal. Can anyone name one significant aspect of the COVID response that hasn’t been found to be illegal? Their modus operandi seems to be tyranny.
