A human rights lawyer believes tougher tweaks to the government's gang patch law are over reach and will suppress free speech. Amendments to the proposed patch prohibition will give police far-reaching powers to arrest people for keeping insignia in their own home. The bill has its third reading this week. The changes would mean someone who has two convictions for displaying a gang patch could be jailed if they are then found with gang insignia in their private home or anything with gang markings on it. Human Rights barrister from Rubicon Chambers, Michael Bott spoke to Lisa Owen.

A Kiwi human rights lawyer says the decision to suspend the return of New Zealand citizens from India is legal. The government has implemented the travel ban from this Sunday until the 28 April due to a high percentage of passengers arriving from India infected with Covid-19. On Thursday, 17 travellers arriving in New Zealand from India tested positive. India is struggling with a sustained outbreak of the virus, reporting a seven-day average of 93,000 cases a day. Michael Bott is a human rights lawyer. He spoke to Susie Ferguson.
"Free subject to conditions" would be the security status of terror suspect Suhayra Aden if she returns to New Zealand, according to a senior government minister.It looks increasingly likely the New Zealand woman accused of being an Islamic State terrorist will end up back here with her two children, as negotiations about their fate continue.Suhayra Aden, 25, and her children are being held in a deportation centre in Turkey after trying to illegally cross the border from Syria.A Turkish Foreign Affairs source has characterised the message from New Zealand officials as: "We will come and take her. Give us some time because of the Covid-19 threat," according to RNZ correspondent Vehbi Bas.Aden acquired dual nationality after moving to Australia when she was 6 and travelled to Syria from there in 2014, on an Australian passport, to join Islamic State.That led to Australia stripping her of citizenship last year, enraging New Zealand.The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFAT) said: "Nothing has yet been agreed or determined."As the woman involved in this case is a New Zealand citizen, we continue to engage with Turkish authorities on practical matters."Those practical matters could include travelling here from Turkey; it would most likely be a commercial flight and she'd have to be accompanied by New Zealand law enforcement officials.Arrangements would also have to be made for two weeks' isolation at the border, secure enough to convince the public she posed no risk.Human Rights Lawyer Michael Bott told Heather du Plessis-Allan she'll be allowed to get on with her life. "There's been no proven activity she's been involved in. Obviously she's gone over to Syria, which most of us would say was a rather stupid thing to do, but she was 19 at the time." Her case sparked a diplomatic row with Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern accusing Australia of "abdicating" its responsibility.There's no set timeframe for Aden's possible return to New Zealand, but there is an expectation the situation should be resolved either way within the next month or so.About three weeks ago RNZ reported Turkey had dropped charges against her and had begun procedures for deportation.Ardern has made it clear the involvement of two children would heavily influence New Zealand's response, but national security would still be paramount.In its statement, MFAT also said, as had "previously [been] made clear, New Zealand is in discussion with Australia about how this case should be managed"."This includes the issue of where the woman and children will end up."Ardern spoke to Morrison the evening she publicly lashed him and said recently officials on both sides of the ditch were working on a possible solution after the leaders' joint statement: "Regardless of the steps taken in this case to date, both NZ and Australia acknowledge that this case now has a number of complexities", pledging to work together in the "spirit of the relationship".The reality is unless there's a sudden change of heart from Australia, Aden and her children are New Zealand's responsibility through her sole citizenship and that's where they'll end up.Terrorism laws in placeCorrespondent Bas also cites a source at Istanbul Police Headquarters saying Aden had not been questioned by Turkish terrorism police, which meant any investigations or trials would be held wherever she ended up.There's been a wave of anti-terrorism laws passed in New Zealand since the early 2000s; first in reaction to the 911 attacks, and then as ISIS took hold in the Middle East and waged attacks across the globe. The most recent was a law giving the Government the ability to track and manage those returning from foreign conflicts, suspected of terrorist activities.The Terrorism Suppression (Control Orders) Act 2019 was passed in a rush when New Zealander Mark Taylor surfaced in Syria.It gives authorities the ability to pre-emptively track and monitor people, but under strict thresholds, including that the...
The Prehistory guys are Rupert Soskin and Michael Bott. They are the filmakers behind the fantastic film hit 'Standing with stones,' a wonderfully perceptive, well researched and celebratory look around the megaliths of Britain which you can find here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iq4xM8TLWc0&t=2917s I was delighted to be able to chat with them about making the film, the podcast and British prehistory. In this episode, we got the dirt on Haribo and Marlboro binges during filming, some amazing moments at Calanais during a full moon and whether they would date another species of hominid. Turns out, they are both well up for it.......I may be paraphrasing.....a lot. I was also lucky enough to discuss Prehistory and how the deep dive often changes the overall picture, how certain pictures and ideas have been unfairly weighted in the past and lots more fascinating stuff from two guys who are now officially heroes and inspirations of mine.

Visions of the Cailleach by Sorita d'Este and David Rankine Standing astride the British landscape, looms the giant blue form of the Cailleach. Whether she is seen as a benevolent earth-shaping giantess, harsh winter hag goddess, shape-shifting crone, guardian of sacred wells and animals, or ancient bestower of sovereignty; the Cailleach appears in many roles and manifestations in myths and legends across the British Isles. Tracking the Cailleach across thousands of years through folklore, literature and place names, the authors have uncovered startling references which hint at a hidden priestess cult worshipping the Cailleach from ancient times through into the twentieth century. By exploring her myths and legends, they demonstrate the hugely significant role of the Cailleach in the early history of the British Isles. Beinn na Caillich and Goir a' Bhlair - the seat of the Cailleach Looking beyond the veil of the sacred landscape, the vision of the Cailleach confronts the seeker, in hills and rocks, lakes and wells, burial chambers and stormy skies. Now finally the primal elemental power of the Cailleach is revealed in her full glory, in the tales and places of Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man; as well as in traces of her presence in England, Wales, Jersey, Brittany, Spain and Norway. For more details about the book visit the Avalonia site or you can buy the book on Amazon.

Tribal Gathering by Keltoria Keltoria is a Celtic music “group” based in the Knockmealdown Mountains of South Tipperary in Ireland. Keltoria music is a hybrid of powerful, elemental traditional Celtic and New Age styles that is pretty unique. Powerful and Elemental are the key words here. Driven by thundering rhythms and frantic strings, this is not for the faint hearted. A combination of haunting, gothic/celtic atmospheres and thundering rhythms creates a music that is “spiritual” in the sense of the raw power of nature. This is music to make your spirit jump up and fling itself about in wild, whirling abandon. More than that, we'd like to offer a heart-felt thank you to the band for giving us unlimited access to their music for the Show. They are amazing people.
