Man Up punching their way into a an Auckland Pride children’s
event, terrifying staff and families alike. Head of audience and
senior writer Anna Rawhiti-Connell wrote a column about the prime
minister’s, in her view, weak response to the event and what it
said about him politically.Anna joined me on Behind the Story to

opinion alongside reporting, and what it is that turns a passing
thought into a thousand written words. When protest isn’t peaceful,
you don’t have to be a church mouse about condemning it Christopher
