    Labour's Leader has labelled anti-LGBTQ protests 'pathetic'

    Labour's Leader has labelled anti-LGBTQ protests 'pathetic'


    People linked to Destiny Church stormed a children's drag event at a west Auckland library, leading to some 30 people had being barricaded inside.

    Later, police intervened when a group disrupted Pride Parade festivities on Ponsonby Road with a haka.

    Chris Hipkins says we have free speech in New Zealand, but it's not that.

    He says that sort of behaviour isn't an exercise in free speech; it's shouting other people down and stopping them from what they're free to do in a democratic country.
