Grey Power meeting in Kerikeri

Julian has the news on yesterday's Keri Grey Power meeting here, including this 'soundbite':

During question time [says Julian], I upset quite a few busybodies and environmentalists by saying that an individual's property rights should be inviolable by the majority or by government.
