Summary: Rugby Tour Protests (Press, 10 June 1985)
In a letter to the editor published on 10 June 1985, Chris Chaston expresses frustration towards the protest movements opposing the All Blacks' tour of South Africa. He argues that the public is weary of the loud protests that aim to suppress alternative viewpoints, which he believes undermines the principles of democracy. According to Chaston, everyone, including athletes and their supporters, should have the right to express their opinions without being silenced. He contrasts this with the tactics used by opponents of the Homosexual Law Reform Bill, whom he believes are successfully gaining public support through a more democratic and sensible approach to conveying their message. Chaston advocates for the importance of open dialogue and the share of diverse perspectives in public discourse.
