'No place' for racism, white supremacy at Auckland Uni - letter

From Checkpoint, 5:25 pm on 2 October 2019

Hundreds of university staff have signed an open letter declaring racism and white supremacy have "no place" at the University of Auckland.

A new wave of posters and stickers promoting a recently launched white nationalist group have been spotted at the University this week.

The Chief Human Rights Commissioner says while the propaganda isn't unlawful - it does beg questions around whether New Zealand's current hate speech laws are fit for purpose.
