Ignorant masses are what politician long for. They vote for stupid people who do stupid things. Then the evil politicians draft laws that they want and word referendums in evil ways to get their way.

It’s difficult for me to believe that no organization in New Zealand took it upon themselves to tell the ignorant people the consequences of approving this proposed law.

How much media do they control?

New Zealand also has an official censor.

If most of the media is in the control of the same group who favored the bill, how do you get the word out?

Consider our situation in the U.S., with a First Amendment.

Considerably less press freedom in New Zealand.
