Banning people from entering the country because you don't like the things they think and say does not sit well with me.

Yeah fair enough, though when those individuals are promoting actions that are likely to prompt harm to others I find it gets a bit messy. I have no problem with Women's Refuge calling for the ban, it's pretty much their job to try and de-normalise the types of behaviours that he promotes (and we've spent plenty of tax payer money on it).

I mean, I feel similar sentiment to you, but at the same time.... do we really need that in NZ?

NZ and Australia both denied entry to Odd Future/Tyler, The Creator on similar grounds.
It's already happening.

I have no issue banning people if you are in an occupation that "speaks" to the public. Why do we need them to come to the country.
If people are that desperate to see them, they can fly to another country to watch them |

If you want to find out who decides this, you can. And you can find out who appointed them to the role and via what process. If you take issue with the decisions or the deciders you are free to speak up. NZ's democracy hasn't been completely undermined yet. We can't pretend that someone coming into the country to spread an ideology would have no impact.
