Why this petition matters

Started by Justice Aotearoa

We, the undersigned, are deeply concerned to learn that Lee Williams, the author of the violent white supremacist blog and media channel “Across the Rubicon” is employed by Synlait

Lee has been responsible for disseminating extreme white supremacist material, and has consistently been reported for creating objectionable and racist media for his channel.

More recently he has taken to directly attacking Maori MPs, Rawiri Waititi and Hon. Willie Jackson, using blatantly racist rhetoric and is actively and deliberately stoking public fear in response to the He Puapua report.

Synlait espouses values such as diversity, inclusion and thriving communities. This is entirely at odds with the violent rhetoric of their employee Lee Williams.

We call upon Synlait to review his contract, in reflection of their espoused values, and make it clear that they give nothing to racism, most especially a paycheque.

Here is a link to his channel which is clearly geared to supporting white supremacy:
