It cannot be too strongly emphasised that the body of the common law is predicated on the basis that it is written down in a form which is available to all New Zealand citizens and in that way is knowable in advance of any course of action on which a citizen intends to embark.
If the present journey is allowed to continue then National will have forfeited the trust of those voting it into office. The result will be that at the next election many loyal National voters will vote for a minority party and candidate. Either National will become the minority member of a coalition with ACT and NZ First, or the door will be open to a Labour, Green, Maori Party government which will allow the separatists to finalise their attack on our institutions.
As our mothers will have told us this as we stood staring in to fridge looking for something which is under our nose but often when simple truths are staring us in the face we look the other way rather than face them. Such is happening today on a massive scale threatening to undermine our democracy and our way of life.
Readers are excused if they do not know what this means. That is because it is an entirely new system of law for New Zealand advocated by Justice Christian Whata our latest judicial appointment to the Court of Appeal. The fact that it is practiced in no other country does not concern its advocates. It involve the merging of Maori tribal customs with the Common Law.
The Rule of Law requires that the legal principles relied on in any litigation must be certain, knowable in advance and applicable equally to all citizens. This introduction of notions of spirituality and ancient tribal practices for which there is no written record merely the recollections of claimants and their witnesses is the anthesis of a Rule of Law.
Parliament’s failure to assert Sovereignty on behalf of the people and put an end to this separatist race- based movement is the primary cause of the recent riot in Parliament by members of the Maori Party and their had picked acolytes in the Public Gallery.
The attack has been against every institution which comprises the pillars of our democratic freedoms. The desired outcome is to replace our free and open market-oriented society with increasing state control, and to eliminate any freedoms currently enjoyed which are incompatible with that end.
The intractable problems about this Judicial favouring of one group in our society above all others are plain to see: Nobody knows what the content of Tikanga is until some learned elder comes to the court with an explanation.
Currently there are seven Maori electorates in Parliament. Six are held by persons claiming Maori ethnicity and who belong to the “Maori Party.” Notwithstanding widespread calls for the abolition of the Maori seats no member of the coalition has shown any inclination to table legislation to that effect.
Censorship comes in many forms, some subtle and some not so but the overall effect is the same, some person, or group does not want you to exercise your freedom of choice and speech on a given topic.
