Judicial Authority for Mandates?

anna goodwin made this Official Information request to Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet

The request was successful.

From: anna goodwin

Dear Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,

In most functional, humane, westernized democracies, the authority for any public mandate is derived from the High Court of that jurisdiction. The High court of New Zealand has acknowledged that New Zealand has a dual legal system that includes Tikanga Maori Law and NZ Crown Law acting on behalf of the Queen in right of New Zealand, Ltd. Therefore:
A.
1. Please provide the specific ruling of the NZ High Court and Tikanga Maori Law Jurisdiction which has granted the authority for DPMC to proceed with a public mandate for any Covid-19 jab for anyone in Aotearoa. This should include any ruling to enforce such a mandate upon a living man or woman or upon any public or private entity.

2. Please provide the specific ruling of the NZ High Court and the Tikanga Maori Law Jurisdiction which has explicitly abrogated the NZBORA 1990.

B. Assuming that proper authority for such a mandate has been obtained, and in the context of the risk of the Covid jab far exceeding the risk of Covid 19 infection at this time based upon numerous scientific reports:

1. Please provide any and all minutes held by the DPMC in which a decision was made to abrogate the responsibilities of this government to its commitments as a signatory of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 1948.

2. Please provide the minutes of any discussions with the Medical Council of New Zealand and the Health and Disability Commissioner in which the standards of conduct for physicians were altered to exclude the informed consent process from discussions related to the Covid-19 jab. It seems that there is still a reference to informed consent in patient care in the health and disability Code and on the MCNZ website.

Yours faithfully,

anna goodwin
