Brick thrower targets Clark electorate office – 01 Jan 2008 – NZ Herald: New Zealand National news
[quote]A brick was thrown at the window of Prime Minister Helen Clark’s Mt Albert electorate office early this morning, Auckland police said today.
A communications spokeswoman said the brick was thrown around 12.30am, with the offender seen disappearing on a scooter immediately afterwards.
Police were investigating the incident, she said.
An email from a lobby group, People Power, claimed the brick was thrown in protest against the Electoral Finance Act, which came into force today.[/quote]
At least they can’t be charged with sedition which ironically was scrapped from the law books because it was thought that the sedition laws represented a threat to the freedom of speech and could be abused. The Government then went and passed the Electoral Finance Act which actually are a threat to freedom of speech.
