Lizz Gunn is well known to some as an ‘anti vaxx’ campaigner, and started a political party (NZ Loyal). She is a former TV presenter, so is very good at articulating points of view.
This made her an obvious target for the Adern government’s tenticles.

Lizz and a Photographer were at Auckland International airport to meet with the unvaxxed Mahelino Patelesio who had been imprisoned in his own home for a year.

Security decided that they couldn’t take photo’s even though it’s a public place, and got very heavy handed with the small 60 year old lady.
It all then gets very plainly irrational and indefensible on the part of the authorities.
The guard roughly manhandled her and fractured her wrist. (this was plainly intentional)
The original footage is below.
In the first court case, the police used very selective video footage to show it all in the worse possible light while claiming other footage wasn’t available.
Given the event happened at an airport with lots of camera’s about, that in itself is plain rubbish.
The Judge was determined to convict Lizz, and actually mentioned their own anti-vaxx stance after sentencing her, proving an obvious bias.
Lizz prevailed and took the case to the High court, where the assault charge was overturned.
