  Speaker 1: It's just amazing the sheer breadth and diversity of things
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: that people get outraged by in a given week in
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: New Zealand. Brian Tammocky at the weekend, who after literally
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: decades taking to the streets and stirring the pot nobody
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: should be outraged by. But here we are. Yesterday it
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: was a bunch of chicks in bikinis rolling around in
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: cow's milk, trying to make a buck on OnlyFans. Did
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: you see this story? The police were called. Somebody called
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the police. Yes, I kid you not. Couple of lasses
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: bikini clad making some wholesome down on the farm country
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: style content and safe gets involved. There's your first problem.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Then MPI gets involved and MPI contacts police. What on
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: earth are the police going to do with two girls
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: one cow? Who on earth would they arrest anyway? Some
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: might say the cow was lucky to be milked. Besides,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: what is more indecent, girls in bikinis or the naked
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: how The answer, of course is rather simple. Police will
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: do nothing. MPI will do nothing because there's actually nothing
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: to do anything about. Same goes for Brian and his
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: gang of thugs to be fear to him and to them.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: I didn't pay much attention and Frere didn't pay any
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: attention to them at the weekend because I was enjoying
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: my long weekend, too busy, having a good time. But
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: from what I've read, we had some flags burnt, we
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: had signs waved about. People are calling for hate speech,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: laws and restrictions on speech, all sorts of stuff. Guess
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: what That also won't happen, and nor should it. The
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: bar for criminal charges is rightly high in a situation
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: like this. People must be free to air the aviews,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: no matter how distasteful or wrong they might be. Boils
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: must be lanced, so long as they lanced peacefully. Besides,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: you don't have to look far into the World section
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: of your newspaper this morning for a glimpse at why
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: we should value freedom of expression. Russia ran anybody. As
