The Free Speech Coalition is slamming the National Party's policy to ban gang patches, saying that if its good for the
goose it's good for the gander, and it's not the role of politicians to decide who can and cannot express themselves
with colours and clothing.
Free Speech Coalition spokesperson Dr David Cumin says, "If gang members want to wear a badge to advertising what sort
of person they are we have to let them. That's part of being in a democratic society. Intimidation and breaching the
peace is already rightly illegal. What you choose to wear should not be."
