Thanks Than for the context

A bit more on Melanie Reid, the journalist ...

Many want to change the world when young. Not many do. But for broadcast journalist Melanie Reid, whose first serious act of activism was halting a massive industrial development on the outskirts of her hometown of Queenstown aged 17, that fire inside has never died.

Her drive to dig deeper, battle harder and stay the course has only strengthened. “Getting older is an upward spiral, not a downward spiral; every year, you get smarter and more onto it,” she says.

In a world gone mad, the sane become the enemy of the people,

the truth becomes misinformation and tyranny becomes the path to safety and freedom. Orwell was spot on, all but the timing and the technology of the oppressors.
