Subject: MM200006 211327 Official Information request - Active Discrimination by NZ Government

Dear Human Rights Commission,

The Labour government come this Friday are likely to implement active discrimination against their own citizens contravening The Human Rights Act of unvaccinated. Has the Human Rights Act changed?

Why is the government blatantly disregarding the Human Rights of New Zealanders specifically trying to instruct providers of goods and services to actively discriminate against a part of the population?

If this was any other group there would be outrage - what makes them above the law in this instance? This is blatant discrimination.

Yours faithfully,

Chuck Schooner
