rule of law
D J Blair made this Official Information request to Ministry of Justice
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for D J Blair to read a recent response and update the status.
From: D J Blair
Dear Ministry of Justice,
Due to recent arrests of people engaged in peaceful, lawful protest and their bail conditions that remove their right to freedom of speech, freedom of expression and freedom to associate, I would like to ask the questions,
1) 'Is there still rule of law in New Zealand?'
2) 'Is the new anti-Terrorism bill before Parliament, actually designed to bring charges against New Zealanders that use their freedom of speech to criticize government or government policy?'
3) 'Are we going to see a permanent curtailment of human rights and some radical form of change to the Bill of Rights, so any person critical of a government agency could be charged with incitement?'
Having lived in New Zealand all my life I have not noticed a problem with terrorists anywhere, ever, and I don't believe one exists.
Yours faithfully,
D Blair
