Wellington-based poet and student Emma Sidnam penned a compelling piece about writing politically. It could be an obvious segue into political blogging, but her piece is so much more.

Hi,Before we get into Hayden Donnell’s new column about how yes, Donald Trump is definitely the Antichrist, I wanted to touch on something feral that happened in New Zealand last week. Members of Destiny Church pushed and punched their way into an Auckland library, apparently angry it was part of Pride Week. About 50 church members dressed in black barged into the library, leaving a 16-year-old girl concussed.
