NZ Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has welcomed the cancellation of a planned event on Friday featuring right-wing activists Stefan Molyneux and Lauren Southern. The pair, who are ardent critics of Islam, multiculturalism and some facets of gender theory, were due to speak at Auckland’s Powerstation but the event was cancelled at late notice after the venue was revealed on social media. The right-wing activists have spent the past month travelling through Australia on a speaking tour that has been met with violent clashes between police and protestors. Ms Southern says the cancellation shows New Zealand is ‘hostile’ to free speech. Ms Ardern rejected the characterisation, saying her country is not ‘hostile’ to free speech, but ‘hostile’ to Ms Southern’s views
