"Twitter exaggerates everything including hatred and that's just simply not reality" @shaneellall says they have received over 8000 messages of hate since winning young New Zealander of the year.

@shaneellall Shaneel Lal is a violent misogynist bully who is drunk on the faux power that has been erroneously granted him thanks to platforms like yours. We ensure our tamariki & mokopuna are not inspired by the likes of this man and his equally disturbed mates: -

@shaneellall You probably should do a little more research if you want to be taken seriously as a news organisation

@shaneellall We saw the videos. Stop making it anything other than the truth

@shaneellall He has spread 8,000 messages of hate. Tell the whole story. Share what he does, not just how people react to him.

@shaneellall are you kidding this person is one of the biggest bullies on this platform #nzpol you haven't shown one of this person's hateful tweets.

@shaneellall I don't agree with posie parker, but i will defend her right to speak and not his right to incite hatred and cancel her. I am trans, but he does NOT speak for me.

@shaneellall Those tweets were people angry that a man who incited violence and bullied people, was awarded the NZer of the Year. It was like a kick in guts. And you're portraying Lal as the marginalized victim.

@shaneellall Hmmmmm.....noting Shaneel's own tweets
