Interview with Lifetime Black Power Member Denis O'Reilly: Why Censoring Gangs Doesn't Work

Free Speech Union's Podcast

On this week's episode of the Free Speech Union podcast, spokesperson Dane Giraud has a long-form discussion with social activist and lifetime 'Black Power' member Denis O'Reilly. Denis talks us through what led him to join the 'Black Power' and who the majority of members were in those early years. Denis discusses Prime Minister Rob Muldoon and why Muldoon's controversial coziness with gangs was a winner for society. And Dane and Denis explore the National Party's proposed policy to ban insignia and why this already-tried policy has no chance of dealing with any 'gang problem'. A chocka interview full of history and plenty to think about. Enjoy! https://www.fsu.nz/public_letter_on_bethlehem_college
