The protest rally held in Rotorua, held its slogan high with nearly a hundred people in tow. “Kill the Future Focus Bill, or it will kill you!” was out in front along with cut outs of Paula Bennett, complete with fangs, risque cleavage and that famous leopard skin trenchcoat -all the props of an actor satirising the working class as she attacks us.

When Jenny Shipley was in, they went out and burnt an effigy of her and made TIME magazine. This time Paula made front page of the Daily Post, page 5 of the Herald and a snippet on TV One news. But make no mistake, this government’s policies are hurting people up and down this country, and they’re fighting back.
