Alan Jones was right!
This pain in the arse seeks more media coverage for herself.
what a pile of Lies. and bull crap.
Mike_Rann So more people will be jailed for sharing stuff she wants banned?
Has she contributed to the further oppression of Iranian women by donning the hijab again? Those fighting against being forced to wear it were totally aghast at that piece of dopey virtue signalling.
towing Americas line to crack down on freedoms i see, i always said that western civilization would be dead before war of terror ended, i stand by that prediction
whatever the government deems to be extremist. No different from what China does when they censor Winnie the pooh. Blatant fascism
Was she in her country long enough to do her job was she?
Leftwing extremism content will certainly dominate and all conservative opinion will be silenced. Well played comrade.
Can she get any uglier.
Lol, she’s implemented all of Brenton Tarrant’s policy recommendations.
White supremist? Australian rascist mass murderer is more like it.
I wonder wether right wing extremism will be the only target, leaving Islamist and left wing extremists an open and unchallenged slather on the Internet as is currently the trend on Big Tech social network sites...alletremismshouldbekeptincheck

More virtue signalling from Mrs Useless who can't figure out how to stop the much higher & ongoing death rate in NZ from youth suicide. Are not all lives equal, & therefore threats to be considered in proportion to the harm they actually do? Nutters with guns is not a big threat.
Jacinda Arden promised to cut NZ's immigration rate in the lead-up to the last election.
Well, it starts with extremist content, but over time the definition loosens to cover more and more “content I disagree with”

The great impact of mindfulness is making its way into classroomsNot just as a tool for fighting anxiety but in boosting attention spans and productivity, protecting the heart, shortening migraines and sharpening senses. GoodWeekendMag Mindfulness is like restorative justice. If we actually need this crap we've already lost the battle! thinkaboutit GoodWeekendMag They were trying to introduce this rubbish back in the 80s!! I can't believe they're trying to force this on the kids still, I guess it gives teachers some peace and quiet GoodWeekendMag The best thing you can do for any child is to train them to sit in full lotus position. It will make mindfulness (and its goal, emptiness, 'sunyata') easier to achieve when they're mature and able to understand the truth of existence.
