In late 2017 Sophie Brown, then 19, was of hundreds of young people regularly partying at the Mama Hooch bar.

Sexual assault and the aftermath: Mama Hooch bar survivor breaks silence

Over the weekend Kellie-jay Keen-Minshull, also known as Posie Parker, arrived in Aotearoa for her Let Women Speak tour.  The British activist widely labelled as anti-transgender and self-described as a women’s rights activist, caused a stir before she even stepped on Kiwi soil. Her talks had already been met with large protests across the ditch, and at her Melbourne rally, more than 20 neo-Nazi's did a Hitler salute on the steps of parliament. Today we sit down with NZ Herald reporter Isaac Davison who covered the Auckland protest.
