#RIP Keith Locke, who I just learned passed away on 21 June 2024, at the age of 80;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_LockeKeith was a peace activist, which for him included being a staunch critic of mass surveillance. I had the pleasure of meeting and briefly chatting with Keith during a Greens conference when he was still an MP.
His declining health reduced his capacity for activism in recent years, but his death leaves a hole in the political fabric of Aotearoa. My condolences to his whānau and friends.
