Police Commissioner Andrew Coster will meet with the Free Speech Union to discuss concerns about new police training on identifying ‘hate crimes’ and ‘hate speech.’ The Union claims the training, which includes contentious examples like “There are only two genders” and “Kiwi not Iwi,” is problematic as ‘hate crimes’ are not legally defined in New Zealand law. They argue the training could be illegal and should be halted immediately.
