Lol, Joshua Drummond used to write for Nexus, the magazine for the University of Waikato. Back then they used to publish great articles, and once got in trouble for printing a baby in a microwave joke.
The last time I checked, it's all feminist bullshit.
The dude is a pretty good writer.

have they tried to appeal it with human rights angle
it's really cruel and unusual punishment to be prisoned for growing your own food

I remember being 7 years old and my mates mum had a greenhouse down the back. Couldn't go round to their house for a week because the cops found out and were pretty close to sending the entire family off to jail. They ended up with a $20k fine and a written warning from the court of Agriculture management thankfully, its scary how seriously they take the whole situation sometimes.
