https://www.greenleft.org.au/node/57378 *John Minto* is a veteran New Zealand activist who became known as a leader of a powerful anti-apartheid campaign in the 1970s. More recently, he was part of organising some of the largest pro-Palestine demonstrations ever in New Zealand. A member of the Mana Movement, headed by militant Maori MP Hone Harawira, Minto is a candidate for the Internet Mana alliance for the September 20 polls. The alliance was formed between Mana, with a strong base in the Maori working class, and the newly formed Internet Party founded by millionaire businessperson Kim Dotcom, wanted by US authorities over alleged copyright violations. Fourth on the list, Minto would likely enter parliament if Internet Mana polled about 3%, along with Harawira, Internet Party. This is a real possibility, although the most recent polls put Mana closer to 2%. He spoke to *Green Left Weekly* about Mana and campaigning to transform New Zealand. -- “Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is humanity’s original virtue.
