Description:
Episode 33 of the Bogan Intelligentsia Podcast spotlights John Minto, NZ's enduring activist warrior—from orchestrating the 1981 Springbok Tour's explosive protests to steering PSNA's Gaza charge. In this 60-minute raw chat, John traces his path: leaflet-dropping planes over rugby grounds, nationwide union blackouts, and decades of arrests fueling solidarity. He contrasts apartheid's societal schism with Gaza's global outrage—boycotts that broke SA vs. NZ's poll-driven fury clashing with government caution. John mourns the fade of bold, physical disruption in favor of online noise, looks at NZ's Palestine non-recognition amid Destiny Church's Israel zeal, and eyes the collective West's fraying grip.
