🚨This is the state of policing in Aotearoa New Zealand.🚨
This is what peaceful activists, like spokesperson Joseph Bray, are facing for taking a stand against complicity in genocide.

And my most recent (still unpublished) research on #peaceactivism and the AVF will show that neither the AVF nor a draft will work without clear focus on the big picture as well as the details as discussed by scholars like @rwpallas.bsky.social and @syrussolojin.bsky.social 7/

Activists in Australia have been ringing the alarm to NIOA’s depravity for years.

Private companies that earn $ from arming police and militaries are a danger to climate, public health, social cohesion and human rights.

Our aerospace summit blockade was an enormous success despite police aggression. Ngā mihi maioha to our brave peace activists! 🔥

#nzpol #nz #peaceactivism #freepalestine #antiwar
36 arrests at National Aerospace Summit. Organisers claim “major victory”. On 08/10/2025, more than 100 peace activists descended on Te Pae Convention Centre to blockade and disrupt the National Aerospace Summit for it's ties to the United States Military and international weapons companies. The protest, organised publicly online by Peace Action Ōtautahi, was extremely successful in challenging the narrative around what the aerospace industry really is, the group states. Around 6.30am, groups of activists chained themselves and blockaded various entrances to the building. Of these activists, 22 were arrested, and three minors were detained and released, most at the main entrance. Later in the day, Police arrested 14 more activists for obstructing Police vehicles leaving the summit with previously-arrested activists inside, as well as for wilful trespass, and breach of bail conditions. Three protesters were held overnight, and released around 11.30am on 09/10/25. We celebrate the disruption of the summit and labels the protest as a major victory. "We set out to expose the aerospace industry as what it really is, a front for developing and launching foreign military technology. And we did exactly that," states a spokesperson for the group. "It's clear from the response that these links aren't common knowledge, but thanks to these brave activists who were willing to put their bodies on the line, our legitimate concerns have entered the public conversation." The summit will be held again in Christchurch next year. The spokesperson remarks: "The number of people who are now aware of what aerospace really means, and how New Zealand is complicit in war crimes around the globe, has just been exponentially increased. I'd expect the number of people willing to take direct action against this summit next year to be magnitudes larger."
