Mike Butler: THE DENIGRATION OF JULIAN
The beneficiaries and supporters of “co-governance” have stepped out into the open, courtesy of Julian Batchelor’s Stop Co-governance tour. And that is what powered the chaotic meeting in Hastings, on Monday, July 24, when the local iwi chair Bayden Barber sent in his people to resist this “attack on our identity”. (1)
That resistance took the form of persistent heckling which posed substantial difficulties for Batchelor to get through his three-hour plus presentation. When a heckler starting smashing Batchelor’s gear, police closed the meeting.
Iwi chair Barber’s interference preceded the meeting that was first booked at the HB Racing Centre. Without speaking to the racing centre, Barber released an open letter urging the centre to cancel the booking.
A church in Havelock North was the next venue, but threats cause that to be cancelled. Those wanting to attend were required to go to the Havelock North church to find out that the third venue, the former Dollarama shop in the main street of Hastings, was the place to go. (2)
Barber’s mob found out the address. When I drove into the carpark at the back of the shop, I could see familiar iwi faces already there so knew that we were in for a rowdy night.
At the outset, Batchelor explained that the meeting was private, like a wedding reception, and that he had the right to ask people to go, and if they resisted, police would usher them out. He said that the time for questions was at the end of his presentation.
That was perhaps too long to wait for a tall, young, and well-upholstered individual standing at the back who asked, politely, to know what co-governance was.
He did not seem to understand Batchelor’s explanation, early in his presentation, that it was a plan for tribal control of New Zealand, with the blueprint being the He Puapua document introduced covertly by the current government. Tall guy at back repeated his question a number of times.
Another well-upholstered individual addressed by someone as “Irishman”, who took a phone call from reporter Claudette Hauiti from Radio Waatea during the meeting, continued the early heckling......
