Dame Lynda Topp, (Top Twins) on mourning for the loss of her twin Jules just days ago, still gave this most heartfelt and fighting speech at last nights Aotearoa music awards. She verbally attacked the Minister of Arts who was there plus our current National Party + co-offenders, for spending billions in the Budget, on defence. The Arts apparently were not in the budget, so her point was very condemning of defence with no provision for our struggling musicans and artists. I love her last point "Music makes us human."
Yep sure defence is important, but our unique Kiwi Arts and Culture are what and who we are. Kill the arts. Kill our Spirit. Then we will be an easy target for being 'taken over and out'. Yep Alien Weaponry are our most powerful metal weapon!! You have to listen to this most inspirational wahine. RIP Jools X
Through tears, Dame Lynda described the grief she carries following the recent death of her twin sister, while taking a chance to blast the government's "lousy" arts funding.
