Free To Speak
Interview with Tory Whanau
Free Speech Union spokesperson Dane Giraud speaks with former NZ Green Party chief of staff and Wellington Mayoral candidate in 2022 Tory Whanau. Tory discusses her fascinating (and enviable!) journey that led her to a dream job in communications and eventually to the role of chief of staff with the Green Party. Tory offers insight into how the Greens and wider contemporary Left view hate speech laws and discusses her own desire for education over heavy-handed restrictions. Tory also fronts on the important public spaces issue - the issue that has kept the Free Speech Union most busy since our inception - and we are given a sense of what to expect in this space should Tory become mayor in October.
