Civil Disobedience The Winner

Published: Wed 24 May 2000 02:34 PM
Reports that 276,000 New Zealanders are now refusing to pay the Broadcasting Fee to NaZis on Air have excited Libertarianz Leader Peter Cresswell, and he looks forward to the final abolition of the tax.
“This successful campaign of civil disobedience – begun by Lindsay Perigo on Radio Liberty back in 1995, and continued by Libertarianz and others – should stand as a striking example of how New Zealanders can peacefully, and successfully, resist the government,” he says.
With New Zealanders now under daily siege from Helengrad, he trusts it is a lesson they do not forget.
