Notes

Tame Iti is a Terrorist Yeah Right protest badge, 2007 The 2007 raids took place in the Urewera Ranges which is a spiritually and historically important part of the country, particularly to people of the Tuhoe tribe. On this occasion 17 people, including veteran activist Tame Iti were arrested for potential breaches of the Terrorism Suppression Act for involvement in so-called military style training camps. A result of the police action was a series of protests around the country calling for those arrested to be released and overturning of the Suppression of Terrorism Bill. In 1916 another police action in the Urewera Ranges saw Tuhoe leader Rua Kenana arrested and two of his sons shot dead. Kenana was considered a trouble maker by politicians and police and the 1907 Tohunga Suppression Act which outlawed the practice of traditional Maori healing and spiritual practices was aimed at him. His arrest and subsequent imprisonment at Mt Eden Prison is considered one of the worst miscarriages of justice against Maori in New Zealand history. There are parallels between the 1916 and 2007 police actions due to the geographic location and public outcry that ensued. The badge also refers to a brand of New Zealand popular culture and humour. The “Yeah Right” tagline is associated with the advertising campaign for Tui beer in the 2000s. This advertising campaign used stereotypes and heavy irony and became a common one liner in the New Zealand lexicon. The humour comes from making a statement that is clearly incorrect or highly unlikely then followed by phrase “…yeah right” to emphasise the ridiculousness of this statement.
