So today their Jewish Council member is out there defending the right of students to do a pro-Palestinian protest at Auckland

henry cooke What we need is a brave soul like Ben McKay to vox pop every MP on whether they've personally put down a dog (or any other pet). Surely some of the rural types have had to kill horses/sheep etc, which I know is different
