Green Party MP Keith Locke explains what it meant for him to have hosted Uighur human rights activist Rebiya Kadeer. Keith points out that- more often than not - the media in New Zealand are only interested in reporting about free trade agreements with China and ignore the human rights problems that exist in that country.
The Head of State Referenda Bill - pulled today from the Parliamentary Private Members’ bill ballot - will hopefully spark a national debate on our constitutional future, said Green MP Keith Locke.
Human rights activist Rebiya Kadeer will visit New Zealand from October 12 to 15 and will be hosted by Green Party MP Keith Locke. She will be speaking at public meetings, visiting Parliament to meet MPs, and talking with other interested people and organisations.
