When: 7pm TUESDAY 22 September – (not our normal Wednesday night)
Where: Galatos – 17 Galatos Street, Newton (just off K road) – free entry – Map
Who: You and like-minded left-wingers. All welcome.
More: Info here on speaker
Kim will be discussing justice issues and how we can achieve positive progressive change in a reactionary political environment. He will be examining ACT’s ‘three-strikes and you’re out’ policy, which will soon be debated by the parliament, alongside problems with the current political direction of our country’s law and order policies.

A time for questions and answers will follow.
Please pass this invitation to anyone you think will be interested in attending.
Cheers,
The Drinking Liberally Auckland Team
